The Investopedia Express with Caleb Silver

• DeepSeek, A.I., Tariffs, and the Future of Economic Security

  A jam-packed January full of news also brought DeepSeek into the future of A.I. conversation, deep-seating Nvidia as the world's most valuable company, and calling into question the hundreds of billions of dollars of spending by Big Tech on semiconductors to control the future. The Fed punted on interest rates, as expected, but now new tariffs on Canada, Mexico and China threaten to upend the effects of monetary policy and bring more inflation to our doorsteps. Plus, scholars take shots at the Efficient Market Hypothesis, and ask whether passive investing has actually made the stock market inefficient.

• The Upcoming Showdown at the Fed, and Making Cents out of Eliminating the Penny

  On The Express this week, we dissect the flurry of economic executive orders and announcements from the Trump administration and identify the new power brokers influencing markets and the future of A.I. The Federal Reserve will meet on interest rates for the first time this year and the first time under this administration, which has been demanding lower rates. Plus, DOGE, led by Elon Musk, says it's time to stop printing the Penny, but those cents come with billions of dollars worth of complications even though they cost more to produce than they are actually worth. And, stocks touched record highs again last week, and breadth inside the markets actually improved which could set the stage for the next leg of this bull market.

• The New Economic Policy Playbook and the Future of TikTok

  It's a newer, faster version of The Express, and we break down the path of economic policies promised by the incoming Trump administration, including what's likely to happen, and what might get challenged. Plus, the future of TikTok in the U.S. is changing by the minute, but recent developments and the seating arrangement at the inauguration tell us that the popular social video app isn't going anywhere. And, get used to hearing about the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act of 1930, and watch for new amendments to the 95-year old piece of legislation.

• Reasons to Remain Bullish as the Bond Vigilantes Circle

  Despite the recent and relentless rise in Treasury bond yields and a sell off in the stock market, Dr. Ed Yardeni, President of Yardeni Research, remains one of the most bullish strategists out there. Yardeni, who coined the term "Bond Vigilantes", outlines the risks, probabilities and opportunities facing investors today, and explains why he sees the S&P 500 topping 10,000 by the end of the decade. Plus, expensive stocks have pushed the equity risk premium to historical lows, but those hoping for it to rise better be careful what they wish for.
