Mornings on 2: NVIDIA’s China Ban & Nike’s Big Pickleball Bet

from Dollars & Sense with Pam Cook

In today’s Dollars & Sense, Pam explores the "great disconnect" in the American economy, starting with a look at why consumers feel a squeeze that Wall Street’s billion-dollar bank profits seem to ignore. Financial advisor and "Watchdog on Wall Street" host Chris Markowski joins the studio to pull back the curtain on the latest wholesale inflation data and explain why a "booming" GDP doesn’t always translate to the local grocery aisle. The conversation shifts to the global stage, where a heating tech war sees China officially blocking NVIDIA’s most advanced chips, while domestic giants Tesla and Amazon aggressively rewrite the rules for their customers and suppliers. She also dives into a landmark moment for the world’s fastest-growing sport as Nike signs its first-ever pickleball athlete, 18-year-old sensation Anna Lee Waters. Learn more about your ad choices.
