Exploring the Interconnection of Stock Market and Economic Performance

Jan Hatzius, chief economist and head of global investment research at Goldman Sachs, joins co-hosts Gunjan Banerji and Telis Demos for the show’s last episode of 2024. They talk about Jan’s 2025 economic outlook, the role tariffs could play in the second Trump Administration, and the Federal Reserve’s latest interest-rate decision. They even get into the holiday spirit and chat about gift-giving.  

A note to listeners: WSJ’s Take On the Week is going to take a break for the holidays and will return on Jan. 5. Happy Holidays!
