☆ Wolfe Research says to play enduring inflation through energy stocks — these 2 in particular
▼ + stars: | 2024-04-29 | by ( Spencer Kimball | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +2 min

Investors should look to energy stocks as stubborn inflation weighs on the stock market amid growing anxiety over whether the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates at all this year, according to Wolfe Research. "This inability to adequately tame inflation of course coincides with the reacceleration of Oil and Energy stocks over the past few months," analysts Rob Ginsberg and Read Harvey told clients in a Monday note. The Wolfe analysts said investors should take advantage of any near-term overbought consolidations and make a play for the stock to rise back into the mid $40s. Crude oil and the 10-year breakeven inflation rate, meanwhile, are both on the upswing from multiyear bases, according to the Wolfe analysts. "Needless to say, we want to keep playing Oil and Energy stocks to the upside over near – mid term, which should in turn put continued upward pressure on inflation," the Wolfe analysts said.

☆ Tractor Supply CEO says there's still 'significant migration' out of urban areas
▼ + stars: | 2024-04-25 | by ( Julie Coleman | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +2 min

Tractor Supply CEO Hal Lawton told CNBC's Jim Cramer on Thursday that a substantial number of Americans are moving out of cities, and many are headed to rural areas. "They've continued, albeit to a lesser absolute number, but net we're still seeing significant migration out of urban America, and most of that migration, or a lot of it, is going into rural America," Lawton said. Tractor Supply is a retail chain that sells equipment for home improvement, such as supplies for gardening and farming. Lawton told Cramer that the company has been dealing with business headwinds, with consumer spending trends swinging from goods to services. But he expressed optimism for the future, saying Tractor Supply can "begin to see light at the end of the tunnel now against those headwinds."

When asked, Gemini politely refused in some instances to generate images of historically White people, such as the Vikings. In the image space, if you asked previous AI image generators for an image of a CEO or a doctor, they initially almost always showed images of White males. Google announced its Gemini AI chatbot was pausing the generation of people in images after concerns were raised that it was creating historically inaccurate images. What makes censorship and manipulation worse with AI is that today’s AI already has a well-known hallucination problem. It may be a portent of what’s to come with AI and Big Tech leading us into Orwellian territory.

The US just experienced the warmest "meteorological winter" on record, NOAA said last week. It also led to unpredictable consumer demand, causing headaches for retailers and other businesses. For Dick's, warmer weather means that sales skew toward lightweight fleeces rather than pricier down parkas, she said. A retailer in South Dakota surveyed by the Federal Reserve said that even though the warmer weather led to higher foot traffic, sales of winter gear and equipment fell.

☆ Nvidia boss Jensen Huang believes CEOs should have the most direct reports

Huang, who oversees 50 direct reports, said that "by definition," CEOs should have the most direct reports of anyone at a company. And taking on more direct reports could help CEOs level the playing field, too. And while Huang manages more people than other big-name CEOs (Amazon CEO Andy Jassy has 16 direct reports), Nvidia has close to 30,000 employees, according to a company report from 2023. While Huang might be an outlier (and overachiever) as a manager, the number of direct reports CEOs are taking on is on the rise. CEOs' direct reports doubled from five in the mid-1980s to close to 10 in the mid-2000s, according to the Harvard Business Review.

I mean steakhouses like House of Prime Rib in San Francisco, Hal’s in Atlanta and Bern’s in Tampa, Fla. Every great American city has one; really great American cities have at least two or three. This kind of steakhouse revels in dinner theater. In House of Prime Rib, for instance, a chef in a tall, pleated paper hat pushes a steel cart stocked with the finest cuts of beef around the restaurant as if he were manning a float in a parade. He stops so the patrons can fawn over the meat, and then dramatically carves the cut with an oversize blade.

After showing stronger signs of life in recent months, activity in the US housing market shifted back to low gear in January. The culprit behind the slowdown has been more subdued expectations for rate cuts by the Federal Reserve, which has, in turn, kept mortgage rates high. The 30-year fixed mortgage rate rose to 6.87% last week, an uptick after a period of steady declines.

House Speaker Mike Johnson is overseeing one of the smallest House majorities in history as Congress confronts upcoming battles over government funding and contentious fights over immigration and impeachment. The razor-thin majority presents an enormous challenge for the speaker, leaving him with almost no room for error as he navigates demands from competing wings of his party. House Majority Leader Steve Scalise’s office has said that he will work remotely until returning to Washington in February as he recovers from a stem cell transplant. House Republicans were nearly evenly divided in the vote, a sign of the deep rift within the conference. The fate of these politically vulnerable members will be key to whether the GOP can hold onto its majority.

Opera singer Renée Fleming, music star Barry Gibb and prolific hitmaker Dionne Warwick also are being honored at the black-tie gala.
