Trump's New Tariff Plan & U.S. Economy's 2026 Outlook

Thomas J. Hayes analyzes the latest tariff policy plans emanating from the White House and weighs in on how the short-term volatility is "mostly noise" as he expects this to be a longer-played out issue. He underlines the mid-term election cycle as a potential market moving event. On the Mag 7 stock performance, Thomas says the markets are concerned if the group's AI capex ultimately turns free cash flow negative. He's a "little leery" of software and is paying attention to Salesforce (CRM), Intuit (INTU) and Nvidia (NVDA) earnings this week. Thomas has a pair of stock picks in Estee Lauder (EL) and Dentsply (XRAY).
