On WSJ’s Take On the Week, co-hosts Gunjan Banerji and Telis Demos discuss the latest news on the L.A. fires and their impact on the insurance market. Then, they get into Donald Trump’s presidential inauguration and Wall Street’s reaction to the new administration. A who’s who of big tech like Tesla’s Elon Musk, Meta’s Mark Zuckerberg and even TikTok CEO Shou Chew will reportedly be in attendance. Gunjan and Telis also dig into bank earnings following surging profits for some of the largest banks, like Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan Chase. Telis shares what to look out for ahead of regional banks, including Fifth Third and Keycorp, and credit card companies, such as Capital One, reporting earnings this week.
Later on, Meg Tahyar, head of the Financial Institutions Group at the law firm Davis Polk, joins the co-hosts to talk about what to expect when it comes to banking regulation in a second Trump administration, how it might differ from his first term, and what regulations may mean for banks, crypto and more.
This is WSJ’s Take On the Week where co-hosts Gunjan Banerji, lead writer for Live Markets, and Telis Demos, Heard on the Street’s banking and money columnist, cut through the noise and dive into markets, the economy and finance—the big trades, key players and business news ahead.
