First, she talks about Boeing's postponed 2024 outlook, where its CEO talks about the company's need to regain the trust of regulators and customers following recent problems with its aircrafts.
January employment numbers and upcoming Fed meeting
Then, she dives into employment numbers for January, which is a bit disappointing as it falls short of expectations. We also learn about wages and benefits for the last quarter, which is important as it gives an idea of how well the job market is doing.
Next, the attention moves to the upcoming Federal Reserve meeting. Chris Vecchio, also known as the trading wizard from tastylive, joins the discussion and shares his expectations. He believes that the Fed won't be making any big changes this time.

The show also mentions Qualcomm's upcoming earnings announcement. It's important to pay attention to their comments on the smartphone market and AI demand. Lastly, analysts have lowered their oil price forecasts, so it's good to be cautious about the Wall Street opening.
