The Coke Consumer Indicator & J&J’s $5.5B Talc Settlement

Episode 236: Today, Ann unpacks Coca-Cola's earnings and asks whether a can of Coke is really an indicator of economic health. Then, we spin through market headlines including why Corning stock is tumbling, whether investors are buying into UPS' turnaround strategy, PayPal's impressive quarter and Johnson & Johnson's proposed settlement that could finally bring its decade-long talc litigation to an end. Finally, Ann is joined by David Schassler, Head of Multi-Asset Solutions at VanEck, for a wide-ranging conversation about gold, China's position in the AI race and this week's Fed meeting. www.brewmarkets.com  Subscribe to the Brew Markets newsletter: https://www.morningbrew.com/brew-mark...
