Zacks Friday Finish Line: What's Next For The Brexit?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Welcome to the Zacks Friday Finish Line Podcast!
Each Friday, the Finish Line will tackle the hottest stories of the week in the investment and financial world.
On the very first episode of the Zacks Friday Finish Line podcast, Content Writer Ryan McQueeney and Editor Maddy Johnson take on new promotions from a couple of noteable countries. Later, they discuss the Brexit.
Up first this week was news from Chipotle Mexican Grill (CMG - Free Report) . As the company continues to look for ways to get customers back in the door following its food safety scandals, Chipotle launched its new “Chiptopia” Summer Rewards Program today.
Chipotle wasn’t the only company launching a new promotion this week, as Walmart (WMT - Free Report) announced its new ShippingPass. The retail giant will offer free two-day shipping on anything purchased on Walmart.com for just $49 per year. After investing nearly $2 billion in ecommerce, it’s clear that Walmart is doubling down on its fight against Amazon (AMZN).
Finally, our number one story this week was the Brexit. As you probably know by now, the United Kingdom voted to leave the European Union. As a result, the pound fell to a three-decade low, gold continued its climb upward, and stocks around the world plunged.
Throughout the week, the markets recovered as investors began to put a timeline on the Brexit. There is still a lot of uncertainty surrounding the withdrawal and how it will actually look. Some even started to feel that the initial reaction was overblown.
Thanks for checking out the first episode of the Zacks Friday Finish Line! We will see you next week with even more news and market commentary!
