Free to read
Schwab's Center for Financial Research publishes a steady stream of free commentary for the firm's retail clients, and the best of it holds up for professionals. Liz Ann Sonders, Schwab's chief investment strategist, is a frequent voice in financial media and is known for leaning on economic data rather than price targets. She and Kevin Gordon cover U.S. stocks and the economy, Collin Martin covers fixed income, and other strategists cover international markets, trading and Washington policy.
The monthly Schwab Market Perspective is the core read. It pulls the U.S., international and fixed income views into one piece, organized around a few questions of the month, such as how AI is affecting the labor market or what rising rates mean for global equities. Around it sit daily market updates, a weekly video, sector views and podcasts.
Use it as a plain-English check on the macro data. It is written for individual investors, so skip the product-oriented items and focus on the strategist pieces.
