Ideas
Dollar safe haven with strong fundamentals
The dollar is the only safe haven in this market because the U.S. has a resilient economy, commodity-driven inflation keeps the Fed hawkish, and the dollar benefits from both safe-haven demand and strong momentum and fundamentals.

Nvidia is a strong buy now
Nvidia remains the hub of the AI ecosystem, selling more chips than anyone, with over 80% of revenues now from data centers, making it a long-term play on AI infrastructure; he calls it a strong buy right here.
Kevin Mahn Hennion & Walsh Asset Management President and Chief Investment Officer 27:58
