    Oct 23 2024
    Season 11 Episode 04 The Federal Reserve is a political institution that is accountable to Congress, but also to the public, and its independence ensures it can conduct monetary policy in a way that it perceives to be in support of its dual mandate without undue political pressures. However, some candidates have expressed interest in giving other branches of government a say in the Fed’s decision-making process, meaning that this election could have a major impact on how monetary policy is conducted. To explore the implications of any changes to the Federal Reserve’s independence, Gabriela Santos is excited to be back with Dr. David Kelly, Chief Global Strategist here at J.P. Morgan Asset Management.

    Navigating Shifts in Global Trade
    Sep 12 2024
    Season 11 Episode 02 As rising geopolitical tensions and the pandemic fallout have uncovered weaknesses in global supply chains, many nations have begun to rethink their trading relationships. U.S. policy, for example, has turned increasingly nationalistic, with recent administrations implementing tariffs and non-tariff barriers to trade, allocating funds toward domestic development of strategic industries, and proposing other protectionist measures to support domestic activity. Today’s episode discusses whether tariffs have been effective in the past, and explores the investment implications of a more strict trade policy. For this conversation, Gabriela Santos, Chief Market Strategist for the Americas, joins Dr. David Kelly, Chief Global Strategist at J.P. Morgan Asset Management.
