Senior Macroeconomist Steven Friedman shares his post-FOMC thoughts on monetary policy and economics. He also meets with portfolio managers mid-cycle to discuss markets and investment opportunities.

Whiplash
It has been a whirlwind of economic policy pronouncements over the first few weeks of the Trump administration. In the latest edition of Forward Guidance, Steven Friedman and Michael DePalma cut through the noise and focus on one key aspect of President Trump’s policy agenda – import tariffs and their likely impact on the economy and fixed income markets. They also touch on investing amid policy uncertainty, and relations between the administration and the Fed.
