Another White House shake-up. President Trump's top economic advisory Gary Cohn said Tuesday that he would be leaving the White House in the coming weeks. His departure comes on the heels of the President's announcement that he would impose tariffs on steel and aluminum imports. Chad Morganlander, Portfolio Manager at Washington Crossing Advisors joins Your Cheddar to give his predictions on the market amidst the White House departure.
Dow futures were down more than 250 points and Morganlander believes we'll see downward pressure the rest of the trading day based on uncertainty. He believes that the worst case scenario would be if the European Union puts tariffs on our goods, especially auto and technology.
Chair Jerome Powell says the Federal Reserve only expects to cut rates once in 2024. But at least, as one economist says, ‘rate hikes are off the table.’
With the Fed likely set to leave rates unchanged, lower and middle income Americans will continue dealing with higher credit card interest and expenses.
