The anchors also took a look at the NFL's new eleven-year media agreement which includes Amazon getting exclusive rights to stream Thursday night football games. Also in focus: Tense talks between the U.S. and China, Barclays upgrades Ford to “overweight” citing the automaker’s electric vehicle strategy, The one-year rebound and rally in cruise stocks and what it would take for the cruise lines to ramp up trips as vaccinations accelerate, SPACs getting hurt, Chubb's unsolicited bid to acquire insurance rival Hartford Financial, and a survey that shows Goldman Sachs junior investment bankers are suffering burnout.
