The Rundown

Oil prices are climbing. Bond yields are rising. So why are stocks still near record highs? Jason Ware, Chief Investment Officer at Albion Financial, joins Zaid to explain why he remains bullish and what could change his outlook. They discuss the earnings growth supporting the rally, why higher borrowing costs may not derail the AI spending boom, and his case for the Magnificent Seven to keep leading. Plus, what he’s watching this earnings season, the outlook for another Fed rate hike, and the challenge of valuing Anthropic ahead of a potential IPO.
