In this week’s episode of The Morning Filter podcast, hosts Dave Sekera and Susan Dziubinski discuss whether investors should or shouldn’t worry about the declining US dollar. They also break down tech’s wild earnings last week: Tune in to find out if Microsoft MSFT, Meta Platforms META, Apple AAPL or ServiceNow NOW are stocks to buy today—and whether Tesla TSLA finally looks attractive after Morningstar’s big fair value upgrade. They share what to watch in the upcoming earnings reports from Alphabet GOOGL, Amazon.com AMZN, and some notable consumer defensive companies this week.

Small-cap stocks are having a moment: The co-hosts discuss whether the rally can continue. They close the episode with three small-cap stocks to buy that look undervalued now.
