Squawk Morning Briefing: Strong Earnings
We start the day with a number of big cap names reporting earnings, all of them either in-line with analyst expectations or beating them. Futures are also up. This continues the pattern of changing direction every day or two which seems to have gripped us. Today’s videos update our view […]
Squawk Morning Briefing: Fast and Slow

We remain in a complicated situation with many factors to consider when trying to assess the direction of trend so let’s get right to today’s videos to review the considerations in detail
