Utility stocks (XLU) are rebounding Tuesday morning following yesterday's market downturn triggered by Chinese artificial intelligence (AI) startup DeepSeek. Jefferies managing director of US power, utilities, and clean energy research Paul Zimbardo joins Morning Brief to analyze the sector's outlook.
