Ask the Economist About the Fed, Trump 2.0, and Tariffs | LPL Market Signals
In the latest LPL Market Signals podcast, LPL strategists recap last week’s post-election surge in stocks, answer some important economic questions investors are asking after Trump’s election victory, and discuss some market implications of last week’s election. Stocks surged last week, led by small caps, as markets reacted to Trump 2.0 by pricing in lower taxes and less regulation. Next the strategists played “ask the economist”, with questions about the Federal Reserve, potential economic policy differences between Trump 1.0 and 2.0, and tariffs. The strategists then discussed some market implications from the election, including bullish seasonality, small cap enthusiasm, and the upward bias in rates. Tracking: #656769
