Joining me now is Mike Wilson, Morgan Stanley's chief US equity strategist and CIO. Uh Mike, great to have you uh with me here. It's it's it's a fascinating round trip we've had, right, since early uh I guess since February in a sense.Where does the market sit in your mind relative to all the the kind of important drivers, right. I mean, we had this tariff policy scare and then a little bit of relief off of that. But in terms of the fundamental picture, technicals, demand for stocks, and all the rest of it. ...

But yields are sinking today even as we're talking about the long-term fiscal sustainability of the US government. Maybe Rick Santelli who is back now can explain. Hi Rick. Hi.you know whether it's the month end quarter end halfyear end effects or just in general as the last guest Steve pointed out and so appropriately sometimes markets don't trade on fundamentals and on the interest rate side there has been a global propensity for lower rates but everything you said is true Kelly this administration's budg ...

Based on the data that you've seen, do you think it's a good idea now for the Federal Reserve to lower interest rates. There's two elements here. The Fed doesn't want to lower rates and appear to be cowtowing, if you will, uh to President Trump's um uh you know, language.On the other hand, I think there's actually room for them to lower rates. If you look at the Fed's Beige book, which the Fed reacted to last year when they started lowering rates, I think there's room for them to take action now. And if I w ...

I want to talk about the Fed and cuts. I just did a snap poll on X and we have most people think to cuts. That seems a majority.Second, most would be one and then 13% said zero. I'm in the 13% camp. I just don't see the need for it.What's the problem here. Why cut rates. Why change something if it seems to be going so well right now.So. So I throw out one thing. So you think about the Fed raised interest rates 500 basis points.What was the impact on the economy. Not really debilitating. And I think one thin ...

We are now joined by U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Betts. And just as the Senate has begun voting on what's known as the big, beautiful bill. You look at the latest version of the tax bill.The big question that remains is the GOP holdouts. What kind of deal can be cut with those holdouts. And what are you and the president prepared to offer for support.Well, I'm confident that the bill is going to progress, as is over the next few hours, and it'll be on the president's desk to sign on July 4th. So the Senat ...

Scott Bessent indicated it wouldn’t make sense for the government to ramp up sales of longer-term securities given where yields are today, though he held out hope that interest rates across maturities will be falling as inflation slows. https://t.co/0JlIiHjDpl ...

While we're talking about interest rates and the Federal Reserve, it has been recently reported that you might be in consideration for the job as the next Fed chair. When you've been asked about the likelihood recently, you said that it's up to the president. Is it a job that you would want.I will do what the president wants, but I think I have the best job in D. C. We're making a lot of progress with the president's leadership.You know, I think think about it. We are going to have the tax bill on his desk ...
