“Sell in May and go away,” says the old market aphorism. Today on “The Breakdown,” NLW previews a set of discussions he believes will shape markets this summer:
- The inflation battle – the Federal Reserve’s Jerome Powell meets with President Biden
- The energy battle – the European Union bans the majority of Russian oil
- The crypto regulation battle – the U.S. is expecting major legislation from senators Cynthia Lummis (R-Wyo.) and Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) in June
