Macro questions and market strength

Podcast cover

Exchanges

This Goldman Sachs Exchanges podcast interviews Jan Hatzius and Dominic Wilson about the economic impact of the Trump administration's policies, particularly tariffs. The discussion revisits a previous outlook report ("Will tailwinds trump tariffs?") and finds that while tariff impacts are higher than initially predicted (potentially 4-7 percentage points), positive economic tailwinds still outweigh them. The panelists analyze market reactions, noting the strong dollar and resilient equity markets despite higher-than-expected inflation and yields. They conclude that while uncertainty remains, the current economic environment is largely positive, though data reliability is becoming a concern due to policy changes affecting data collection.
