(Markets Edition) When it comes to the market, traders look at three influential figures: the chair of the Fed, its vice chair, and the president of the New York Fed. We’ll talk to Chris Low, chief economist at FTN Financial, about why some were “disturbed” by what John Williams, the next NY Fed president, recently had to say at a press conference in Madrid. Afterwards, we’ll look at one major domestic appliance company that could come out ahead amid all this tariff talk. Whirlpool may have an advantage thanks to a protective tariff on foreign washing machines.
