Tariffs, inflation and recession fears and slowing economic data have dominated investor attention in March. And all of these topics could dominate the minds of investors come April, too! Yahoo Finance executive editor Brian Sozzi sits down on the Opening Bid podcast with IBM (IBM) vice chairman Gary Cohn. Cohn served as the director of the National Economic Council during the first Trump administration. The former top executive at Goldman Sachs is seen as a key bridge between the current Trump administration and Wall Street. Cohn hasn’t hidden his differing view on tariffs compared to Trump, believing tariffs are a form of tax that cause inflation. Cohn weighs in on the potential economic impact of reciprocal tariffs on Trump’s self proclaimed April 2 ‘Liberation Day’, and if the country is moving closer to a recession. Given his view on AI from his work for IBM, Cohn also shares perspective on the tech space as important stocks such as Nvidia (NVDA) trade under pressure.
