The markets closed mostly in the red today following an address by the new Fed Chair, Jerome Powell, to Congress. Chad Morganlander is a Portfolio Manager at Washington Crossing Advisors, and he joins Cheddar to break it all down. When asked about the recent volatility of the market, Morganlander says that no one thing should be blamed. ETFs are not the route of the recent volatility. Overall, Morganlander says the markets are fine. He explains that as rates rise, there will be more volatility. Morganlander anticipates that rates might be raised 2 or 3 times in 2019. When asked if markets will bounce back after a day that mostly ended in the red, Morganlander said that is anyone's guess. Overall, Morganlander expects markets to be more volatile this year than they were in 2016 and 2017.

The gain follows two quarters of steep declines as people turned off by CEO Elon Musk’s foray into right-wing politics avoided buying his company’s cars and even protested at some dealerships. Sales rose to 497,099 vehicles, compared with 462,890 in the same period last year.
