Tom Essaye explains what the tariff uncertainty means for companies, consumers, and markets with Yahoo Finance

FedEx is latest company to sue Trump admin. for tariff refunds

Sevens Report Research founder Tom Essaye joins the live show with Yahoo Finance Markets and Data Editor Jared Blikre and Yahoo Finance Senior Markets Reporter Ines Ferré to break down what the tariff uncertainty means for companies, consumers, and markets.

I don’t think it’s going to impact markets. Look, in the short term, the tariff chaos is just adding to the general uncertainty that AI anxiety has brought on the markets.

Here’s the key about tariffs. The markets are not worried that the Trump administration is going to do something so, for lack of a better word, dumb that it’s going to hurt the economy on trade. Trump and the administration have backed off numerous times. The market continues to think they will. The refund thing is going to be a mess for years. The lawyers are going to be the biggest winners from that, not the consumers. I don’t think tariffs are a major issue for this market.

Dow Theory’s warning sign continues to flash

FedEx Earnings to Provide Clues on Stock Market Rally’s Fate

While the Dow Theory’s warning sign continues to flash, some strategists argue that it has little merit in the digital age, missing out on the significant role of vertically integrated retailers like Amazon and Walmart that handle their own shipping and delivery. Nevertheless, the Sevens Report’s Tyler Richey suggests that the Dow Theory should be used in conjunction with other indicators to get a full picture of the economy.

Why Stocks Dropped Again

/in , /by

What’s in Today’s Report:

  • Why Stocks Dropped (Again)
  • A Question About Silver

Futures are sharply lower following a very negative earnings pre-announcement from FedEx (FDX).

FedEx (FDX) earnings were terrible as the company reported EPS of $4.37 vs. (E) $5.10 and guidance was even worse with estimates of $2.75 vs. (E) $5.46.  The company sited significant macro-economic deterioration and the CEO warned about a “worldwide recession.”

Economically results were mixed as Chinese data beat estimates while UK Retail Sales were soft (–5.4% vs. –3.9%).

Today focus will be on Consumer Sentiment (E: 59.9) and more specifically the five-year inflation expectations.  In August they were 2.9% and if they rise back above 3.0% that’ll only compound the damage from Tuesday’s CPI and push stocks lower, while a decline below 2.9% will help offset CPI and help support stocks (although I think it’d take a sharp from below 2.9% for stocks to fully erase these early losses).
