President Trump on Saturday gave his blessing to a deal that would give U.S. investors including Oracle and Walmart majority ownership of the Chinese social-media app TikTok while allowing it to continue operating in the U.S. Maybe the deal will protect national security as the Trump Administration claims, but it reeks of corporate cronyism that will damage the U.S. government’s credibility and reputation for free-market rules.

In an Oval Office interview on Friday afternoon, President Trump told me that he held off on imposing Treasury sanctions against Chinese officials involved with the Xinjiang mass detention camps because doing so would have interfered with his trade deal with Beijing.

Guy and I hope you had a great weekend. We are back with The Set-Up this morning where we discuss this morning’s early strength, the slew of mergers (NVDA/Arm, GILD/IMMU, and ORCL/TikTokUs), Apple’s iPhone event, Pfizer CEO’s vaccine comments over the weekend, and their upcoming analyst day. We also previewed the Fed’s last meeting prior to the election and what if anything the Fed chair is likely to say that differed from his Jackson Hole comments of two weeks ago, prior to the start of the recent stock market weakness.

The investment grade corporate debt market has skewed toward lower quality BBB- rated debt, but if just 50% of that were to be downgraded it could fuel a near doubling of the high-yield market, Gundlach said Tuesday on a

Guy and I hope that you had a great long holiday weekend. We are back with The Set-Up where we discuss the violent sell-off late last week in tech stocks, we debate whether this summer’s price action was a blow-off top after a massive rally that was largely predicated on unprecedented liquidity provided by the Fed and U.S. Treasury which led to the sort of multiple expansion that has not been seen in 20 years in market leaders. We also discussed the rotation into bank stocks and industrials Friday afternoon and Apple and Tesla’s afternoon heroics to close up in the day after being down big in the morning.
