Ryan Reynolds, Nuvei, & Bank Earnings Begin 04/17/23

In his latest business venture, actor, producer, and entrepreneur Ryan Reynolds has invested in fintech company Nuvei. Reynolds and his new partner Nuvei CEO Philip Fayer share how they’ll work together, and why they’re betting on fintech and on innovation in Canada. Mohamed El-Erian, Allianz and Gramercy advisor and president of Queens’ College, discusses his next concern for the markets, as the “higher for longer” interest rate policy continues. Plus, it’s game time for the banking industry; big banks have begun to roll out results, and mid-size banks are unveiling financials this week. A month after the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank and the subsequent regional banking crisis, investors will read quarterly financials as indicators of banking instability and the long term impact of SVB’s failure. Google CEO Sundar Pichai has big expectations for AI, and Dominion’s lawsuit against Fox News will head to trial Tuesday, after a delay.
