Blue Line Futures President Bill Baruch and Unlimited Co-Founder, CEO, and CIO Bob Elliott sit down with the Market Domination hosts to discuss their market outlooks, which Elliott states could be entering "a turning point" in the second-quarter tied to the Federal Reserve's interest rate cut pressures.
