During the episode, they review US economic releases covering GDP, inflation, housing, construction, and manufacturing data; discuss upcoming moves by the incoming administration, including potential effects of tariffs planned for the new year; and analyze recent retail earnings calls along with preliminary retail data for Black Friday. They wrap up with some observations and important questions about the market outlook for 2025.
