Jay Hatfield (ICAP CIO) on S&P 6600, Fed Policy & A.I.-Driven Markets | Buy Hold Sell

In this live episode of Buy Hold Sell, hosts ⁠Tobin Smith⁠ (TransformityResearch.com) and ⁠Todd M. Schoenberger⁠ (CrossCheck Media) welcome Jay D. Hatfield, CIO of ICAP and ⁠SCAP ETFs⁠. Jay analyzes current markets, forecasting an S&P index target of 6,600, buoyed by lower corporate taxes yet tempered by seasonal risks. He digs into the mixed sector performance—strength in tech contrasted with weakness in financials and energy—and underscores the need for strategic planning within investment banking amid M&A activity. Jay offers a critical view of Fed Chair Powell’s inflation management and advocates rate cuts amid manageable federal deficits. He raises caution about housing starts and recession risks, and calls for improved data to better assess inflation and housing trends. The discussion shines a spotlight on a bullish outlook for AI and data center investments, parallels to the late‑’90s tech boom, and growing retail interest in Bitcoin ETFs. Jay also explores how stablecoins could streamline large-scale retail transactions.
