Hey, Kim.

Well, U.S.

traders are coming back after a long weekend to find stock futures lower, Treasuries under pressure, and the dollar falling against safe haven currencies, particularly as investors worry about whether Trump's tariff threats over Greenland are going to prompt a widespread push out of U.S.

markets again, as they did in April last year, albeit briefly.

Thanks, Amanda.

Hi, Amanda.

Hi, Sharon.

Well, the World Economic Forum gets underway in Davos and President Trump will be attending with an entourage.

Also, the earnings season is cranking up.

We've got Netflix and Intel amongst others.

And finally, Fed Governor Lisa Cook, whom Trump has attempted to fire, is going to make her case to the Supreme Court.

So it might be a short week, but it won't be one that's short of action.

Hi, Kim.

That's right.

It is indeed unprecedented to have these three former chairs speak out against the attacks on Fed independence.

Crucially, they point to the impact that it could have on inflation and how this might make the Fed even less likely or give the central bank rather even less room to cut rates as President Trump wishes.

We know that affordability is...

front of mind for him right now and the impact that those high prices are having on consumers.

So today's CPI report for December is going to be under even closer scrutiny than usual, I think, for markets.
