Tariffs, deportations are key to controlling inflation: Strategist
The October Producer Price Index (PPI) report exceeded expectations, up by 0.2%, raising concerns about the Federal Reserve’s rate path. Simplify Asset Management chief investment strategist Michael Green argues that to keep inflation under control, the focus should shift to tariffs and deportations. Green tells Morning Brief Anchors Seana Smith and Brad Smith that deportations are going to hurt the housing market, which has been a key factor that has kept inflation numbers high. In terms of what the Trump trade means for investors, Green cautions equity exposure given the risk of high valuations. “We should look at much of what we're seeing in the fixed income world as an opportunity to de-risk portfolios while still earning a very attractive return,” he said.

Brazil's JBS sees strong demand for meat in US
Brazil's JBS, the world's largest meatpacker, sees "very strong" demand for beef, pork and chicken in the U.S., said the president of JBS USA, Wesley Batista Filho on Thursday during the firm's third quarter earnings call. This is helping the company deal with tight margins in the beef segment, as a period of reduced cattle supply in the U.S. is making beef more expensive, he told analysts. JBS's global president Gilberto Tomazoni said strong demand for chicken and well-balanced grain prices indicate a continuation of the positive cycle for this sector, and does not expect "major surprises" in grain costs, as the weather has favored soybean and corn harvests.

Greece is in talks with Israel to develop a 2 billion euro ($2.11 billion) anti-aircraft and missile defence dome, part of a wider push to modernise its armed forces as it recovers from a protracted debt crisis, Greek officials said on Thursday.
