What stands out

Kevin Horner and Rachel Dashiell ran through Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) expectations, sector seasonality, and semiconductors on Schwab's Coaching webcast, the kind of walk-through that nudges client behavior. For Charles Schwab (SCHW) those topics matter because trading volumes, options activity and cash sweep balances react to rate signals and sector heat. Hearing how Schwab frames risk and entry thresholds gives a live glimpse into the customer flows that drive its revenue mix and short-term engagement.
