On Friday afternoon, I had the pleasure of returning to Reuters TV to have a quick conversation with anchor Fred Katayama (@Freddiethekat). We discuss the surprising drop in consumer sentiment and why investors appear to be looking through the current Delta COVID wave. Corporate earnings remain extremely strong and with vaccination rates high in the US, this COVID wave should be shorter lived.

Chris Wang speaks with Nicole Petallides, host of the Watch List and Market Overtime, about Under Armour (ticker UAA) earnings. The company blew out expectations earnings 16 cents vs street expectations of 4 cents. It also raised full year guidance from 12 to 14 cents to 28 to 30 cents. Given that the company already earned 16 cents and the third and fourth quarters are typically their strongest, their guidance seems very conservative and the company will likely blow out earnings for the rest of the year.
