Fresh news and strategies for traders. SPY Trader episode #1537. Host Barnaby Buckner analyzes the market's shift from highflying technology stocks toward the 'real economy' sectors like energy and materials. The episode covers how geopolitical tensions are driving oil prices, the Federal Reserve's hawkish stance on inflation, and key earnings reports from companies like Broadcom, Kroger, and Costco.
