U.S. tug-of-war: earnings vs. tariffs

Blackrock
About this episode

U.S. corporate strength could cushion the blow from tariffs – yet questions remain about who will pay for tariffs and what sectors will feel them most. Nicholas Fawcett, Senior Portfolio Strategist at the BlackRock Investment Institute, unpacks why corporate earnings have been resilient despite tariffs – and why it’s important to get granular as tariff impacts become clearer.
