Robert Armstrong, U.S. financial commentator for the Financial Times, fills in for Scott to assess the state of the markets at the halfway point of the year.

They discuss why the Magnificent Seven have begun to lose their grip on the market and which sectors are emerging as the new leaders. Finally, they look ahead to the second half of the year, making predictions on inflation, interest rates, and whether or not the bubble will burst.
