| UnsubscribeFRIDAY, JANUARY 23rdGOOD MORNINGU.S. markets were digesting fresh economic data that could influence the Fed’s path. The Commerce Department said the Fed’s preferred inflation gauge, the PCE price index, ticked up to 2.8% year-over-year in November (core also 2.8%), while consumer spending stayed healthy. Weekly jobless claims inched up to 200,000 but remain historically low, suggesting labor-market resilience even as inflation shows persistence. Corporate headlines added stock-specific pressure. Paramount extended its hostile $77.9 billion takeover tender for Warner Bros. Discovery, moving the offer deadline to Feb. 20 while keeping the $30-per-share cash price and signaling a forthcoming proxy fight. Political and legal noise also surfaced as former President Trump said he is suing JPMorgan Chase and CEO Jamie Dimon, a development investors will watch for potential reputational or regulatory fallout for big banks. NYC nurses resumed strike talks on day 11, creating operational risks for major hospital systems. Commodities and futures were mixed: gold futures rose, lumber and copper showed modest moves, and corn and wheat traded higher, all factors investors consider for inflation and sector rotation. Markets remain sensitive to macro prints and headline risk heading into earnings season.Featured: 5 Stocks Under $5 with Big Potential (Ad)  AUTO/TIRES/TRUCKSTesla’s Robotaxi Goes Unsupervised: Is the Rally Justified?For years, the promise of self-driving cars has fueled Tesla’s (NASDAQ: TSLA) massive stock valuation.
