Kelly Evans: We back

2 days ago | cnbc.com | Kelly Evans

Kelly Evans, Co-Host of CNBC's Power LunchTorrey Kleinman | CNBCThe Nasdaq 100 hit a record high yesterday. The S&P 500 is less than 1% away. And guess what? A familiar trade has been leading the way from the early-April "Liberation Day" lows. Namely, NVIDIA and the whole AI space. Shares of NVIDIA are popping on the open again today, and are trading back above their record closing high from January.
Kelly Evans: Musk, Trump, and "the Bill"

Kelly Evans, Co-Host of CNBC's Power LunchTorrey Kleinman | CNBCAs absolutely delicious as the personal drama between Elon Musk and Donald Trump is--and as much as it may escalate into everything from robotaxis to SpaceX and national defense--let's not lose sight of the deficit fight that's at the heart of it. Musk's beef with Trump after he was dismissed from service first erupted over the "One Big Beautiful Bill." A "disgusting abomination," Musk called it on X this week.
Living with Parkinson's Disease

"I am concerned your symptoms are due to Parkinson's disease," is something I have said to numerous patients over the years. This is a degenerative neurologic disease which is common enough that most patients have heard of it or even know someone living with it. Most commonly, the patient or their family might have noticed classic symptoms: a tremor, difficulty with movement like walking, or balance problems.
Kelly Evans: What's going on with the labor market?

1 month ago | cnbc.com | Kelly Evans

The jobs report was much stronger than expected this morning. So why do things still feel so uneasy? The report, in fact, was pretty good all around. We added 177,000 jobs last month (even with a 9,000 dip in government jobs). Nearly 55% of industries added workers, showing demand was pretty broad-based. Average hours worked rose, reversing a previous downtrend, and are consistent with 3% or better GDP growth for this quarter. And the labor force participation rate rose.
Kelly Evans: Tariffs come to America

2 months ago | cnbc.com | Kelly Evans

Up until now, the tariffs story has largely been one of fear, hesitation, and markets plunging. Now begins the real "impact" part. The trouble is, the retail impact is beginning in a comically small way next to the massive moves we've had in markets in recent weeks. I posted about this on "X" yesterday, but the price hikes at Shein and Temu have started to take effect, and well...the results are revealing.
Kelly Evans: The gold bugs were right--BUT...

2 months ago | cnbc.com | Kelly Evans

There have been very few "winners" in the investing landscape so far this year. But the clearest one is gold. We shot above $3,500 an ounce overnight, after shooting above $3,400 yesterday for the first time. It's been like this for weeks. "Guess we should've bought some!" the husband and I joked to each other. Gold is up almost 30% just since January 1. If it were in the S&P 500, it would be the second-best performer year-to-date behind Philip Morris.

Kelly Evans: That pandemic-y feeling

2 months ago | cnbc.com | Kelly Evans

I was struck by how Michael Gapen, a Morgan Stanley economist, explained his lingering concerns about the tariff fallout on our show yesterday. "I worry about a 'sudden stop' in U.S. trade," he said--using a term typically reserved for emerging markets. And with good reason, because the U.S. has been acting more like a delicate third-world market this week than the world's biggest economy and reserve currency.
Kelly Evans: What now?

2 months ago | cnbc.com | Kelly Evans

So, that happened. Incredibly enough, the president completely backed off of reciprocal tariffs yesterday. Yes, there are a bunch of caveats--it's just a 90-day pause! It's only for nations that don't retaliate! Etc., etc. The whole thing was so confusing that even the White House couldn't confirm for a few hours what the actual current tariff rate on Canada and Mexico now is. (Answer: 25% for non-compliant goods.) In one sense, this played out exactly as many Wall Street pros had been expecting.
