The Upcoming Showdown at the Fed, and Making Cents out of Eliminating the Penny

On The Express this week, we dissect the flurry of economic executive orders and announcements from the Trump administration and identify the new power brokers influencing markets and the future of A.I. The Federal Reserve will meet on interest rates for the first time this year and the first time under this administration, which has been demanding lower rates. Plus, DOGE, led by Elon Musk, says it's time to stop printing the Penny, but those cents come with billions of dollars worth of complications even though they cost more to produce than they are actually worth. And, stocks touched record highs again last week, and breadth inside the markets actually improved which could set the stage for the next leg of this bull market.
