How will Trump react to 'too much red' in the market?
The current geopolitical landscape has added complexity to the economic environment, with tensions in areas such as the Middle East and Russia contributing to a broader sense of instability. Melissa Brown, SimCorp managing director of investment decision research, joins Market Domination hosts Josh Lipton and Julie Hyman to share her thoughts on the growing geopolitical challenges and Trump administration policies in relation to the stock market. "There is this geopolitical backdrop that I think just makes this potential issue of stagflation worse," Brown says. On President Trump's upcoming address to a joint session of Congress on Tuesday night, Brown notes, "I would expect that we'll hear something about the stock market ... the market may not be telling Jay Powell anything, but I think Trump is looking at it." "That certainly is a good possibility that [Trump] believes in the market and may reverse policies if he sees too much red ... [but] if he's not worried about reelection — if he's really dug in — then maybe not; the market does always eventually recover, so maybe he's betting on that."
