Tariff Clouds Hover Over Stock Markets


Listen Later

Tariff announcements have been coming fast and furious out of the White House, but are they more bark than bite? In this episode of WashingtonWise, host Mike Townsend is joined by Jeffrey Kleintop, Schwab's chief global investment strategist, to consider the implications of recent tariff announcements and their impact on the markets. They explore how tariffs are influencing investor sentiment, the potential for inflation, and the broader effects on global trade relationships, particularly with Canada, Mexico, China, and the European Union. Mike and Jeff also discuss the role of central banks in managing economic stability amidst these changes and the emerging competition in artificial intelligence between the U.S. and China. And Jeff offers strategies that investors who are concerned about tariffs might consider.

Mike also shares his perspective on Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell's recent appearances on Capitol Hill, the dismantling of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, and the potential creation of a U.S. sovereign wealth fund.
