EGSI Financial CEO Talks State of Economy in the Wake of Bank Failures
Ed Siddell, CEO and chief economist at EGSI Financial, joined Cheddar News to assess the market in which the S&P 500 is riding a three-week high. Despite the positive trend, Siddell said there is still too much uncertainty in the market. "What we saw, the GDP came out [and] it's a little bit higher than what most people expected but still well below the original estimates," he said. "Consumer confidence is a little bit higher but I think that has more to do with making sure that their deposits were guaranteed."
