Global Economic Impacts and Current Affairs

On today's podcast:
1) President Trump marks his first 100 days in Michigan car country and hits the Fed as he defends sweeping tariffs. Trump criticized Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell, saying he's "not really doing a good job" and that Trump knows more about interest rates than Powell does. He also defended his economic policies, including tariffs, which he claims will inspire economic growth and lure manufacturers back to the US.
2) Amazon says it will not display the cost of tariffs on products. Amazon will not display the cost of US tariffs on products after the White House criticized the reported move and President Donald Trump called Jeff Bezos to complain. The company said the idea was never a consideration for the main Amazon site and nothing has been implemented on any Amazon properties.
3) Microsoft and Meta release earnings after the closing bell. Investors are cautiously optimistic, but the bullish Big Tech proposition is coming under scrutiny, with four of the Magnificent Seven reporting earnings this week.
