On CNBC's "Fast Money Halftime Report," Brenda Vingiello said that Waste Management, Inc. (NYSE: WM) is an uniquely positioned company. It's an essential service, but it's also poised to participate in economic recovery when volume starts to recover and Vingiello started to see that happening. She is a buyer of the stock.

Stephen Weiss wants to buy Moderna Inc (NASDAQ: MRNA). He said the stock is down because the company has not yet received government money for the COVID-19 vaccine. He decided to add to his long position because he likes the news for its CMV vaccine for a disease that can cause birth defects. It could be a $5 billion product.

Sarat Sethi believes the energy stocks are going to catch a bid when all the indexes move higher. He wants to buy Chevron Corporation (NYSE: CVX).

Joe Terranova is bullish on Deere & Company (NYSE: DE). He noticed that it's breaking out on the upside.

Fed's Powell: PPI 'mixed,' next move unlikely to be a rate hike
Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell on Tuesday said the latest report on U.S. producer prices was more "mixed" than "hot" given that prior data was revised lower even as the figures for April came in higher than expected. "I wouldn't call it hot, I'd call it mixed," Powell said at an event in Amsterdam after the Labor Department released the Producer Price Index for April. Asked if the recent run of higher-than-expected inflation might mean that the Fed's policy rate is not sufficiently restrictive to return inflation to the Fed's 2% target, Powell said "time will tell."
