Summary

Carl Quintanilla, Sara Eisen, and Michael Santoli began the hour with a deluge of data: with PCE, Consumer Sentiment, Personal Savings and more crossing the wires. Bridgewater's former Chief Investment Strategist helped the team break it all down - before key analysis later on about what it all means for the Fed decision next week with Goldman Sach's Chief Economist. Plus: details on the deal rocking the media world today - Netflix buying Warner Brothers' film and steaming assets... Hear former DOJ Antitrust Chief Jonathan Kanter's take on whether the deal will pass regulatory scrutiny... and more on what it means for the film industry with the head of the world's largest movie theater trade group (who calls it an "unprecedented threat").
