The market has taken a few punches this month in the form of non-stop headlines from the Trump administration. Concerns about policy chaos and tariffs has some investors wondering if the froth in the market needs to simmer down before putting new money to work. Yahoo Finance Executive Editor Brian Sozzi sits down on the Opening Bid podcast with Russell Investments president and CIO Kate El-Hillow. Russell Investments has more than $330 billion in assets under management. El-Hillow thinks the AI trade remains one of the better ones to bet on, but there are other ways to do so besides current trending names. While the AI trades have remained generally solid in 2025, they have fluctuated at times amid rising concerns about Trump tariffs. El-Hillow says tariff risk is a real risk to markets and the bottom lines of companies. And what ends up happening with tariffs could influence the Federal Reserve, which, of course, will have ramifications for investors.
