Stocks Close Out The First Half At Record Highs… And China’s Declining Data 6/30/25

The "Fast Money" podcast episode analyzes the record-breaking end to Q2, discussing market gains, key sectors, and investor positioning for Q3. Panelists discuss the extraordinary market swings, the dollar's impact, and the re-emergence of big tech. They debate whether the market rally can withstand ongoing issues and caution about the second half, noting the confusion around potential Fed moves and the narrow breadth of the rally. The conversation covers Apple's potential AI partnerships, Oracle's cloud growth versus profitability, and Boeing's CFO transition. The panel also discusses Home Depot's acquisition of GMS, China's economic challenges amid trade tensions, Robinhood's crypto initiatives, and the WNBA's expansion and growing popularity.
