Carl then reviews the risks and the uncertain impact on the US economy and the rest of the world of the Trump Administration’s tariff measures, given the erratic nature of the tariffs and their illegality. In addition, Carl discusses the conduct of US monetary policy and the outlook for US interest rates with reference to the prospective changes in the Chair of the Federal Reserve in May.
