The national debate over gun control reached Wall Street this week, with several major businesses—including Dick’s Sporting Goods (DKS - Free Report) and Walmart (WMT - Free Report) —deciding to change their own gun sales policies. The decisions caused volatility for gunmaker stocks, and Smith & Wesson parent American Outdoor Brands later reported earnings.
Maddy and Ryan also covered music streaming giant Spotify’s decision to go public through an unusual direct listing. Spotify is obviously a global leader in the budding digital music world, but the company’s whacky public offering comes without underwriters and is not guaranteed to generate its targeted amount of funds.
Finally, the hosts touched on Jerome Powell’s latest takes on inflation. The new Fed chair touched on his observations about the American economy during two rounds of Congressional testimony this week.
