Featuring:
1) Brendan Murray, Bloomberg News Trade Tsar, joins to discuss the economic fallout of the US-led trade war. President Donald Trump imposed 25% tariffs on most Canadian and Mexican imports and raised the charge on China to 20%, affecting roughly $1.5 trillion in annual imports. Canada and China have retaliated with their own tariffs as Mexico weighs what it's next move will be.
2) Barbara Reinhard, CIO: Multi Asset Strategies & Solutions at Voya Investment Management, discusses why she believes it's time to buy equities and why European fundamentals look positive. Stocks in Europe retreated due to concerns over potential US tariffs, with investors watching for hints on future trade steps in President Trump's address to Congress today, as well as China's response to US tariffs.
3) Abby Joseph Cohen, professor at Columbia Business School, joins for an extended discussion on the economic policies of a second Trump administration and the risks of cutting government research funding. New levies mark President Trump’s biggest push to remake global trade, and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) is reshaping government spending with unclear economic consequences.
4) Jean Boivin, Head of the BlackRock Investment Institute, talks about how his group is navigating market and geopolitical uncertainties amid a market selloff. It comes with the US yield curve steepening as President Trump's tariff threats came to fruition.
5) Lisa Mateo breaks down the latest headlines in newspapers across the US, including what could get more expensive under Trump tariffs, vendors advertising tariff-free products, and Chipotle announcing it'll foot the bill on tariff hikes.
