The 'Halftime Report' Investment Committee weigh in on rising rates impact on the stock market

Banks writes out 3% 30y mortgages just few years ago, hand over fist. Retail can get 5.09% is free money.

, of course, there's no doom and gloom with the c. E o's, they're the small percentage that will benefit no matter what

Listening to CNBC, it sounds like all the big dogs are trapped like rats – the federal government is trapped in an endless debt spiral, the federal reserve is trapped between lower or higher interest rates and the stock market is trapped and held hostage by the bond market. Listening to people like Jim Rogers and Scott Galloway, they’ve pretty much have signed off from the United States.

Stop all taxes on social security payments.

I'm an investor first, a republican second. I absolutely love the Judge for his impartiality. This economy is about to boom. Tariff income will start reducing the debt, the fed will cut, and it's off to the races.

These guys will be buying the panic selling . I wonder why they do that ?

Make UNH pay!!! Sell em off!!!!

Trump family are corrupt-looting us for billions

As an investing enthusiast, I often wonder how top level investors become millionaires off investing. I’ve been sitting on over $345K equity from a property sale, not sure where to go from here, is this a good time to buy into stocks or diversify?

This Whitehouse regime is as duplicitous as China, N Korea and Russia. Nothing they say can believed. Why would any country or investor trust us?

These investment "gurus" are rosy about the economic future of the United States? They haven't really studied history OR...they were paid to talk happy! Don't trust what they say... Trump is doing a great many things beyond the tariffs that will serve to tank the economy long-term for us, not executives!

I’m bullish on the S&P, we’re entering a bullish cycle in the next 6-12 months after a global slowdown. Rates are going lower!!!

Rate cuts won"t help the people when they have no money to pay for things.Not a poor person on this panel.

yes please give us shannon scaccias insight on the financial markets as she oversaw the largest bank failure in modern history (silicon valley bank). this is pure entertainment that they bring her on for her analysis.

...i cringe every time i hear the word "growth"... or "uncertainty"... AND always linked to wages... NEVER productivity gains... ALWAYS inflation-hugging talk... just like gov't, traders make their living on inflation...

American consumer is resilient. To translate this sentence is that, American consumer is stupid and don't have financial wisdom . Due to their profound ignorance in the financial world, the corporations will always make enormous profits. And that's your answer.

AI is a deflation force. Techs are laying off people again.

you can't take the long end going up. QE which won't work this time. Not one of you are for fighting inflation. You will pay for that.

Trump economy is trash 🗑️

SCHD is by far my largest holding with my share count approaching 8000. I don't expect more than 5% growth going forward. S&P's historic return is closer to 9%. If SCHD matches that return we can assume 4% yield + 5% growth = 9%. We have been in an unprecedented bull cycle since SCHD's inception (13 1/2 years). It's not going to continue like that. We have been spoiled.

AI is so exponentially good that it will allow for a lot of stupidity in politics. Therefore I still bet USA all the way.

AI is not going to suddenly decrease inflation.

This seems like the worst period. Even the market are now very unpredictable. Started fews months and lost up to 75k on my own Please is there anyone that can help me to recover all my lost
........

Rising stocks will wreck stocks. Why is everything priced for double-digit EPS growth?

watching 2001 A SPACE ODYSSEY .... everything is FINE, ramen is hot , donuts are day old but still edible and I reuse my coffee grounds 5-6 times..

Trump's policies, including tax cuts and deregulation, were seen as positive for the financial sector, fueling a strong market rally. His tariffs, particularly on China, aimed to protect U.S. companies but also created some market volatility. If you're considering investing over $300K, it’s important to factor in how these policies could affect the broader market, especially in terms of trade impacts and financial sector performance.

Oh, the Halftime Report crew yapping about rising rates again? Shocker! My 111k is itching to dive into this market, but these talking heads make it sound like stocks are about to join the circus. Anyone else ready to YOLO this cash or am I the only one feeling frisky?

Will stocks run back up to where PE ratios are at unheard of levels ? Seems questionable while company profits are dropping like a stone

Thanks to all yall 99% matrix traders who sold off 😂. Thanks for the discounts, ya just made me richer 🥳

Investment Committee are on the brink of extinction

Shocking! CEOs are only positive.

Investors know the 30y should be at 7.5 or more

Palkie is embarrassing yourself and Indian by providing lies after lies.

I'm nervous because of worries about a possible recession and the Fed's discussion of raising interest rates. Given the uncertainties of a recession and the potential for minimal interest rate increases, I'm not confident about my $440K portfolio approach.

Fake news 🎉

Is that a Tag Heuer that Marriot CEO is wearing?

I was at Redding and i overheard some friends saying the market isn't ripe enough, but Isn't this the best time to buy stocks? I’ve been sitting on over $445K equity from a home sale and I’m not sure where to go from here, do I keep waiting for another market opportunity?

Recently bought some recommended stocks and now they are just penny stocks. There seems to be more negative portfolios in the last 1st half of 2025 with markets tumbling, soaring inflation, and banks going out of business. My concern is how can the rapid interest-rate hike be of favor to a value investor, or is it better avoiding stocks for a while?

If anyone comes at me and tries to justify rates moving up in anticipation of higher future growth, I may fight them 😂

You're doing a fantastic job! I need some advice: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (wonder obey dial dash soon tank spike scout region undo zero such). How should I go about transferring them to Binance?

watching yields spike like this honestly makes me anxious. When 10 year and 30 year treasury yields surge, the ripple hits everything mortgage rates, credit cards, even student loans. People don’t realize how quickly this can squeeze an already tight budget. I’ve already noticed my mortgage refi options evaporate. Feels like regular folks are just expected to deal with it

There will be no correction. Even a 0.5% dip is a BIG buying opportunity. Only buy. The only trajectory is up in a vertical line FOREVER.

Tracking 2008.

The current economy is unnecessarily tougher for average and senior citizens, plus inflation is catching up with my portfolio. I’m worried about survival after retirement.

BINGO! not isolated to just the USA BINGO!

Thanks for continuing updates I'd rather trade the stock market as it's more profitable. I make an average of $34,500 every 2 weeks even though I barely trade myself.

Woo, 189k burning a hole in my pocket after watching The Halftime Report crew debate rising rates! They’re squawking about yields tanking stocks, but I’m ready to dive in call me crazy, but volatility’s my jam! Anyone else thinking this market’s just begging for a bold move?

What’s the best way to start investing as a complete beginner? Any helpful tips or trusted contacts who can offer guidance?
