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.
