April JOLTS data, Ford sales, E-Trade considers ban: Catalysts

The US Bureau of Labor Statistics' JOLTS data (Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey) for April fell below forecasts, posting a print of 8.06 million for the month. In this episode of Catalysts, Brad Smith and Madison Mills are joined by Citi Economist Veronica Clark and Sanctuary Wealth Chief Investment Strategist Mary Ann Bartels to review what the latest JOLTS print indicates about the US economy. As GameStop (GME) shares settle back down, trading platform E-Trade is reportedly considering banning retail trader Keith Gill — who goes by "Roaring Kitty" on social media — on claims of supposed market manipulation around the meme stock. Wall Street Journal Reporter AnnaMaria Andriotis, the journalist who originally broke the story, sits down with Yahoo Finance. ABB (ABBNY, ABBN.SW) Chairman Peter Voser shares his thoughts on the rate of growth in EV charging infrastructure and whether more private sector investments need to flow into the space to allow it to flourish.
