About this episode
Liberation Day arrives: Clarity about tariffs should help markets. What will be the impact on economic growth: Will consumers pay higher prices or choose alternatives? There are too many variables to calculate the true economic impact. Market performance this year is all about diversification of assets within portfolios...and what's working this year may not work next year. Avoid complacency! Before the bell, downside risk still remains. RIP, Val Kilmer. Today is "Liberation Day" (from what?) Have markets already priced-in the effects? This is a difficult market to hedge: Do you bet on the Mag-7 or the other 493? The best thing to do today is...nothing. The truth about tariffs: Foreign nations have been charging the US tariffs all along (40% of US Corporate profits come from exports); Trump just wants to equalize the playing field. The unknown variable is Consumer Choice: No one knows what folks will choose to purchase. Lance looks at interest rates, what drives them, and where they're likely going. Tariffs do lead to slower economic growth, but current economic data does not support bear porn. Increased costs = reduced demand. Inflation expectations are parsed by political proclivities.
