Stocks are little changed on Friday as the major averages close out a volatile week on Wall Street.
Kelly Evans and Brian Sullivan speak with GasBuddy Head of Petroleum Analysis, Patrick De Haan, about the rising price of diesel fuel and when consumers can expect the recent surge to rise above the historic inflation-adjusted record.
Interactive Brokers’ Steve Sosnick also joins the anchors on set to lay out his “wall of worry” for the markets and provide his latest forecast for stocks and bonds through the end of the year.
Meanwhile, Forgent CEO, Gary Niederpruem, joins the show for an exclusive interview to discuss the state of the AI data center buildout and whether the recent backlash from the public over potential safety concerns is justified.
