Featuring:
1) Julian Emanuel, Chief Equity and Quantitative Strategist at Evercore ISI, offers his reaction to the Fed meeting yesterday and discusses why he thinks it was Jay Powell's finest performance. Powell downplayed growth concerns and the impact of President Trump's trade war on inflation, calling the inflationary effect of tariffs "transitory". Powell's comments, along with median forecasts showing two rate cuts this year.
2) Chris Mancini, Portfolio Manager at the Gabelli Gold Fund, discusses gold hitting record highs and where it's positioned to go from here. Gold reached a record high above $3,057 an ounce due to projections of slower US growth and higher inflation this year from the Federal Reserve. The Fed kept interest rates unchanged, with Chair Jay Powell acknowledging uncertainty from President Trump's policy changes and predicting a "transitory" tariff-driven bump in inflation.
3) Monica Guerra, Head: US Policy at Morgan Stanley Wealth Management, discusses how investors should understand tariff policies in the Trump administration. Trump's team is preparing to announce a fresh wave of tariffs on April 2, though the exact scope isn't clear. Trump has sent mixed messages on the Fed, at times calling for cuts and otherwise declining to intervene, and has questioned the Fed's independence.
4) Daniel Kurtz-Phelan, editor of Foreign Affairs, on what FA is mostly focused on as World Order gets reshaped, including coverage of the war in Ukraine and Trump's imperialistic threats. Canada has floated doing major defense deals with Europe and improving the continent’s access to its critical minerals in response to President Trump’s threats and his pullback from US defense commitments.
5) Lisa Mateo joins with the latest headlines in newspapers across the US, including Disney's new Snow White movie and Air France capitalizing on wealthy tourists.
