In an interview broadcast on Sunday, President Donald Trump declined to rule out that Americans could see a recession this year as the economy stutters from his efforts to impose tariffs and cut down the size of the federal government.
He told Fox News anchor Maria Bartiromo, 'I hate to predict things like that. There is a period of transition, because what we're doing is very big. We're bringing wealth back to America. That's a big thing.'
Today on 'Post Reports,' economics correspondent Abha Bhattarai joins host Colby Itkowitz to talk about the economic indicators informing the Trump administration, how businesses and consumers are handling inflation, and whether we're headed toward a recession.
Today's show was produced by Sabby Robinson with help from Rennie Svirnovskiy. It was edited by Maggie Penman and mixed by Sam Bair.

3 False Alarms That Sent the Stock Market Into a Frenzy (And How To Protect Your Money)
The stock market is often driven by emotion. Information breaks about a company struggling to reach profitability or wider economic news is communicated, and it can send the markets into hysteria. Pair that with social media, and it can cause real problems. Investors choosing to act on such emotion can create a real problem for their portfolios, particularly if the information isn't 100% accurate. Be Aware: Check Out: Protecting assets is essential for Americans as misinformation or lack of clarity rattles markets. Here are three times a false alarm brought turmoil to stocks and how to protect your money in those times. Hysteria in the market doesn't always mean it's a bad day for stocks. News around President Donald Trump's sweeping tariffs is one example. After Trump's Liberation Day for tariffs, the market saw vast losses impacting investors. That was until an inaccurate X post claimed the White House was considering a 90-day pause of tariffs. The news brought jubilee, with markets spiking nearly 10%, or $2.4 trillion in value, according to the Wall Street Journal. Unfortunately, the information was incorrect. The tweet, attributed to Walter Bloomberg, was ultimately deleted. The Wall Street Journal states the source of the information remains uncertain. The rally was brief, with the market closing largely flat for the day, with the S&P 500 up roughly 100 points. Read Next: Artificial intelligence (AI) has taken the markets by storm. Tech stocks, in particular, have benefited from the explosion of AI. When Chinese startup DeepSeek introduced a new, free AI assistant that claims to use significantly less data, the market reacted swiftly. On Jan. 27, investors worldwide unloaded tech stocks out of fear that DeepSeek would quickly amass power. Nvidia led the losers, creating a loss of $593 billion, according to Reuters, which was a record single-day loss in terms of market cap for any listing on Wall Street. Other companies joined in monumental losses, with the Nasdaq closing down over 4% for the day. Things aren't as bleak for Nvidia today, with the stock trading at roughly the same price it did at the beginning of 2025. The Nikkei in Japan is a leading stock exchange worldwide. It experienced tumult in August 2024 over fears related to issues with Yen carry trade. Fear spiked that investors would need to sell holdings to cover losses tied to their yen trades. The result was a loss not seen since 1987, with the Nikkei falling 12% on Aug. 5, 2024, according to Reuters. The S&P 500 followed, losing 8% in a two-day period. Thankfully, the loss was short-lived, as Reuters notes that the S&P 500 recovered its losses within two weeks, and the Nikkei followed suit in a month. Protecting assets can be a challenge for many Americans during false alarms in the stock market. Selling stocks is an understandable knee-jerk reaction. Such action can easily derail years of planning, especially if it's on the heels of fake headlines. Diversifying your portfolio weekly and rebalancing it regularly are good ways to safeguard assets. Volatility in the market is normal, but proper due diligence is crucial before making rash decisions that could result in significant losses. If you have a financial advisor, consider speaking with them to verify you're on target with your investment plan. Social media and potentially false headlines can drive emotion. Before making fearful decisions, do research to verify validity before taking action that could lead to needlessly painful losses.

Pause These 3 Financial Priorities During High Inflation and Focus on These 4 Instead
When inflation is high, it means that the prices of average goods and services cost more than they did before. This can make it frustrating to figure out the right financial moves to make. Find Out: Read Next: While the U.S. inflation rate has actually cooled to a refreshing, and nearly ideal, 2.3%, down from highs seen during the pandemic, prices have not dropped, and newly imposed tariffs by President Donald Trump's administration threaten to drive inflation up again. Rather than panicking, financial experts offered some financial priorities to pause during periods of inflation, and those to focus on. It might sound counterintuitive, but according to Jamie Ebersole, a CFP, founder and CEO at Ebersole Financial, you actually want to pause new contributions to your savings account and reduce your checking account balance to the lowest possible level (within reason) during high inflation. That's because 'cash depreciates very quickly in times of high inflation. Wait until inflation rates have fallen below current interest rates to once again keep significant amounts of money in cash,' he said. Be Aware: High inflationary periods are also not a good time to be dropping extra mortgage payments on a fixed rate mortgage, Ebersole said. 'As inflation creeps up, the real rate of interest that you pay will decrease, making the loan much more affordable over the longer term,' he said. In essence, you will be paying back the loan in the future with depreciated dollars. 'The reverse is also true. When interest rates are very low, you should prepay your mortgage to reduce the effect of higher real future interest costs,' he said. It's important to pause your lower-priority items like large renovations and family trips, according to Shalini Dharna, a CPA and owner of Dharna CPA. Or these may need to be modified (think staycation or local tourist). You may pause cash savings in periods of high inflation, but you should keep investing in the stock market in the same periods, Ebersole said. 'Stocks tend to perform well in such periods and they are the best chance you have to grow your assets to keep up with or surpass inflation levels over the intermediate and longer term.' The exception here are bonds, which do not fare well with high inflation. However, I-Bonds or TIPS (Treasury Inflation Protected Securities) are a good investment in times where inflation is higher than expected, Ebersole said. 'Commodities such as gold and silver also tend to be good stores of value in periods where inflation is high.' In times of uncertainty, such as high inflationary periods, it is wise to seek the counsel of a financial planner or advisor, Ebersole said. 'Everyone's situation is different and there may be other opportunities to take advantage of higher inflation related to one's financing choices and asset portfolio.' During high-inflationary periods, navigating finances can become exceptionally difficult, Dharna said. Consumers should identify their 'top expenses' and prioritize them. These include things like housing payments and groceries items. 'Go through every expense and give it a rank,' she said. While retirement savings are always important, Dharna warned, 'not at the expense of having outstanding debt, as your debt is probably at a higher interest rate than your rate of return on investments.' Sometimes finding the money to get out of debt is 'as simple as cutting cable or another subscription' to provide enough cushion for your higher priority cash-flow items, she said. 'Slowly, one expense at a time, go through that list and figure out what is your non-negotiable and what may need to temporarily be paused as you navigate the current times.' Most importantly, Dharna said, this exercise is hopefully temporary. 'These economic ups and downs have and will come many times in our lifetime.' It doesn't mean you have to give up on any of your larger goals altogether, but it does mean some short-term changes to your financial output.

Trump repeats threats to California over transgender track state champion
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump targeted California's education funding again after a transgender student won two high school track and field events at the state meet Sunday. AB Hernandez, 16, became the center of political controversy overnight because she is transgender and running in girls track and field in California. Trump threatened to withhold federal funding from the state of California in a May 27 Truth Social post prior to the meet because of her presence and issued a similar threat for 'large scale fines' Tuesday after she was crowned a California state champion in girls triple jump and high jump. The California Interscholastic Federation adopted regulations in 2013 allowing students to engage in high school sports 'in a manner that is consistent with their gender identity, irrespective of the gender listed on a student's records.' The same year, California lawmakers codified into state law that students could participate in school programs consistent with their gender identity. After Trump's May 27 threat, the CIF changed its rules to allow the athlete with the next-best qualifying mark in three events to participate and to issue a duplicate medal to the next-best finisher behind Hernandez in those events. Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Harmeet Dhillon threatened legal action Monday against California public schools if they continue allowing transgender athletes to compete in accordance with their gender identity. The attack on California's education funding over transgender girls' participation in girls' sports teams came as little surprise after the Justice Department filed suit against Maine in April for a similar policy. The White House argues policies like those in California and Maine are discriminatory, and therefore allow it to terminate federal K-12 funding to those states. Trump ordered investigations into all three, but has moved more swiftly in its dispute with Maine, whose governor publicly challenged Trump over the policy. Several education policy researchers and attorneys previously told the Chronicle that Maine is a test case, intended to see whether the Trump administration can subvert the normal process for cutting funds — as well as terminate all education funding to a state, rather than a more targeted cut. The Education Department is investigating California, Minnesota and Oregon's high school athletic associations, individual school districts in Oregon and Washington, the University of Pennsylvania and San Jose State University for allowing transgender athletes to compete on teams consistent with their gender identities. The Education Department confirmed Tuesday that it has opened an investigation into a Connecticut school system for allowing transgender athletes to compete on sports teams consistent with their gender identity. California received about $8 billion in federal funding for K-12 education in the 2024-25 school year, about 6% of its total budget, according to the state Department of Education. Of that, $2.5 billion was for low-income students under Title I, $1.5 billion for special education and students with disabilities, $157 million for English as a second language programs, and $5.7 million for nutritional services. To terminate funding, the Trump administration will need to argue that allowing athletics participation based on gender identity rather than sex assigned at birth violates Title IX. Several federal courts have found the opposite: that if a school tells a transgender athlete they can't participate in certain sports or use bathrooms in accordance with their gender identity, it is discriminating against that student on the basis of sex.
