Why changing monetary and immigration policies may be edging U.S. closer to a recession: Carmen Reinhart
"Recession risks are higher than average," Carmen Reinhart, Harvard professor and former chief economist at The World Bank, said in a recent episode of CNBC's "The Bottom Line." Reinhart pointed out that the U.S. is now in an era of more volatile markets, financial instability and higher interest rates, brought on primarily, she said, by unpredictable market frameworks. "We have policy uncertainty from all angles, whether it's tariffs, ... there's concerns about President Trump's attacks on the Federal Reserve," said Reinhart. "Then there's a lot of geopolitical uncertainty as well." Reinhart warned that with President Trump's immigration policies and attempts to bring manufacturing back to the States, among other trends, the current U.S. shift away from globalization may further slow population growth in the country, and in turn economic growth, potentially leading to a recession. "We shouldn't be overly confident that a lot of the manufacturing that left will ever return," Reinhart said. "More globalization, more global cooperation is certainly preferred for everyone than variations of a Cold War and a fragmented system." All Americans will be affected by these changes, noted Reinhart. To protect their bottom lines in the meantime, she advised investors and workers alike to emphasize hedging across operations and embrace medium-term to longer-term investment plans. Watch the video to find out more about the fiscal and geopolitical policies currently putting the U.S. economy at risk, why people should care about the rising national debt, and what might be next for the country's financial future.

E.U. will pause retaliatory tariffs against U.S. as trade talks continue
The European Union announced Monday it was pausing a plan to impose retaliatory tariffs on U.S. goods as it continued trade negotiations with the Trump administration. In a statement, the European Commission spokesperson for trade said the planned countermeasures against the U.S., which were set to take effect Thursday, would now be suspended for six months. The announcement helped propel stocks higher Monday, with major indexes all gaining about 1%. On July 27, Trump announced an agreement with the E.U. — America's largest trading partner — that included a baseline tariff of 15%, down from a threatened 30%, and a pledge by the bloc to buy $750 billion of U.S. energy products and invest an additional $600 billion in unspecified U.S. projects. In return, Trump said, the E.U. promised to remove tariffs on U.S. industrial goods. The commission trade spokesperson said Monday it was still working on finalizing a joint statement with the Trump administration. There has been no letup in Trump's aggressive trade posture. The president also announced Monday he would ratchet up trade duties on India over allegations it was illicitly reselling Russian oil, something he said was helping fuel Russia's war effort in Ukraine. The other new measures Trump announced last week, including a 15% tariff rate on some four dozen countries with which the U.S. currently has a trade deficit, are set to take effect Thursday.
