Verdence Capital Advisors Chief Investment Officer Megan Horneman joins The Morning Brief to give insight into how the markets are moving and why the Fed will need to adopt a more hawkish tone to rectify the current inflationary trend. Horneman explains that beyond the recent PPI report, there have been other economic warning signs: “This isn’t the only report that has warned us that inflation is not going in the right direction. You can look at the ISM Manufacturing Report. You can look […]
The Biden administration has enacted a new set of tariffs against China that will hit up to $18 billion in imported goods, including quadrupling the duties imposed on electric vehicles (EVs) and doubling tariffs on solar panels and semiconductors to 50% each.

With growing trade tensions between China and the United States, this move raises questions about its potential impact on the upcoming election. According to Yahoo Finance’s Senior Columnist Rick Newman, the tariffs “do fit with what Biden has been doing his whole term, which is incentivizing the development of certain industries within the United States.” He explains that the tariffs are intended to make those goods originating from China more expensive, thereby promoting domestic manufacturing of these products.

Inflation is not a new phenomenon for the U.S. economy. Although the Federal Reserve has sustained a higher-for-longer inflation environment, historical outcomes provide valuable insights. Brookings Institution Director of Economic Studies Ben Harris joins Wealth! to talk economic history.
