Related News Kamala Harris needs to 'acknowledge' the inflation impact in US As President Biden steps down from his re-election campaign and endorses Vice President Kamala Harris, the battle against inflation continues in the US.

Schlosstein emphasizes that inflation "touches every single American," a reality that can be difficult to fully grasp even when wages are trending upward. Regarding Harris's approach, Schlosstein suggests she will need to acknowledge "that life is harder" for many Americans and convey a clear plan "to bring the cost of living down." He commends the Biden-Harris administration for how they handled the inflationary environment, particularly for not placing blame on the Federal Reserve— calling the central bank "a fundamentally core tenet of the success of our economy."

That means mutual funds and ETFs that track those indexes have also seen success. For investors, the question may be: is it time to jump into those assets, or is there a danger of buying in at these levels? Ameriprise Financial private wealth advisor Nancy Daoud joins Catalysts to give insight into how investors should manage their portfolios when it comes to mutual funds and ETFs that track the broader market. Daoud begins with: "It's very important to really take a deep breath and sit back and evaluate, where am I today? Where do I want to be? And how long am I in it for?

Because if you're really going to be in ETFs mirroring the S&P and technology, you're going to be on a roller coaster ride for the most part." As for her outlook, Daoud says, "Inflation is cooling, [in] both US and Europe. And, so that's some good news. Earnings look strong. The consumer confidence is fairly strong. There's still a lot more spending than money coming in, unfortunately, so that's a concern, but I think that that it's really more of the same."
