In today's Market Outsiders episode, Jenny Rae and Namaan unpack the market’s pause ahead of the Federal Reserve’s interest rate decision, predicting a “wait and see” approach from the Powell Fed. 

They discuss the impact of scheduled U.S.-China trade talks, highlighting how the choice of messenger - like Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent - signals serious intent to global investors and influences market reactions. 

Jenny Rae dives into new data showing Chinese imports to the U.S. at a 20-year low, revealing a 7-year decline that tempers tariff impacts, while Namaan notes China’s tactic of rerouting exports through other countries.
