Stocks rallied after a weak jobs report. Treasury yields finished the week higher. The dollar strengthened. Brent oil stayed above $100.

How much relief did we actually get?

This week on Doc’s Investing Rx, I connect the market headlines to your borrowing costs, household budget, and investments and take a hard look at a company I own: Nike.

A familiar brand and a falling stock price can make a turnaround look tempting. But what does the business still have to prove?

In this episode:

• Why stocks celebrated slower hiring and why bond yields deserve attention

• Oil, diesel reserves, and the costs that reach you beyond the gas pump

• What DXY tells us about the dollar and what it doesn’t

• Nike’s earnings outlook, valuation, and the risks of betting on a recovery

• Micron’s growth and the different questions facing AI investors
