Jobs Surge, Oil Shock & The AI Boom | Wayve Capital Breaks Down What's Next for Markets
Description
A stronger-than-expected May Jobs Report has Wall Street rethinking everything.
On this episode of Wayve Wire, host Todd M. Schoenberger sits down with Joe Besecker, CEO of Wayve Capital, and Rhys Williams, CIO of Wayve Capital, to analyze the latest economic data, rising geopolitical risks, and the future of AI investing.
📈 The U.S. economy added 172,000 jobs in May, but is strong employment actually bad news for investors? Could resilient labor markets keep the Federal Reserve sidelined—or even raise the risk of future rate hikes?
Meanwhile, escalating tensions in the Middle East and uncertainty surrounding the Strait of Hormuz have reignited concerns about higher oil prices, inflation, and the possibility of stagflation. The team examines what sustained energy shocks could mean for consumers, corporate earnings, and the broader economy.

• May Jobs Report: What 172,000 new jobs means for markets
