Here is what the markets need to power higher this year
Markets have been roiled by tariff uncertainty and what will happen with President Trump's "big beautiful" tax bill. In the video above, US Bank Asset Management Group national investment strategist Tom Hainlin explains that clarity on these sorts of issues would help take the markets higher in the second half of 2025 and into 2026. To watch more expert insights and analysis on the latest market action, check out more Market Domination Overtime here. Tom, um, what needs to happen for the remainder of the year? And this is again, similar to what we talked about earlier with guests. What needs to happen from here until the end of the year to see more momentum in equities and positive returns when the year is is all done? It's the sequencing of events. We we got you the news about tariffs early on. We're still working through that the meat of the the House proposal, the budget proposal, that's now in the Senate. It's clarity on what tax rates are going to be for personal and corporate income tax. It's clarity on what we're going to see in terms of tariff rates. That allows businesses to make long-term decisions about where to invest, long-term decisions about where to hire. That then allows you to to put a multiple on it on on S&P 500 and other stock markets that allows you to have a perspective on what the Fed will do in the second half of the year in terms of interest rates. But if you can have stable rates, stable inflation with a downside bias, that's what you need to to kind of carry forward that momentum into the second half of the year in 2026. So, Tom, you're talking to clients, and they ask you, okay, against that backdrop, what are the stock market opportunities? You tell them what? Uh, we tell them have their full allocation of equities, but we do recommend a little bit of a global tilt relative to a US-only allocation. You know, Europe, Japan, those developed market indices, you know, they had you know, very low expectations, very low valuations. That's a good springboard to get a decent return if you get some relief. You've got the European Central Bank lowering interest rates. You don't have the same inflation problem in Europe and Japan that we're that we're working through here. So, we think it's more of a global opportunity set with that full allocation, both inside and outside the United States. Tom, thanks a lot. Appreciate it. Always great to be on. Thank you so much.

Port Traffic Plummets for Full Month Following Trump Tariff Announcement
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Port traffic has plummeted significantly since President Donald Trump announced his widespread tariffs on imports, with the Ports of Seattle and Tacoma recording lower numbers over the past month. For the last week in May, volumes were down for the fourth consecutive week, according to the Northwest Seaport Alliance. International imports had decreased 27.7 percent from the week before and 41 percent from the 2024 weekly average. Why It Matters Trump issued a "Liberation Day" order months ago for a 10 percent minimum tariff on all imports and up to 145 percent on Chinese goods. Following this, the Treasury Department brought in $15.9 billion from tariffs for April, compared to $9.6 billion the previous month, according to official data reviewed by Newsweek. As the tariffs influence international trade, many countries and companies may pull out of the U.S., impacting port traffic and the larger economy.

Lonnie Kishiyama What To Know The Northwest Seaport Alliance reported that truck trips were also down 26 percent from the week before and 35.4 percent from the May 2024 weekly average. These drops were attributed largely to ships skipping their regularly scheduled stops at the port due to the higher tariffs in effect. "The Northwest ports had a surge earlier in the year as shipments were sped up to beat the tariffs, and now we are seeing the shipping industry crash," Drew Powers, founder of Illinois-based Powers Financial Group, told Newsweek. "It is not just a problem with imports; the number of cancelled shipments out of the port have increased by 33 percent, and I believe will only get worse before it gets better." While Trump paused some of his tariffs in the last few months, the 10 percent baseline tariff remains in effect, hurting the bottom line for many small businesses. "In retail, margins are everything, and while we've seen a pause on some of the higher tariffs proposed during the administration's initial proposal, they're still higher than they were just a few months ago," Alex Beene, financial literacy instructor for the University of Tennessee at Martin, told Newsweek. "Businesses are going to be more selective on the items and the amount they import, and that's already being reflected in slower port traffic." What People Are Saying Powers also told Newsweek: "This is a perfect example of the economic adage 'there is no such thing as a free lunch.' Placing a tariff on steel, for example, will certainly help the domestic steel producers, but at the same time will hurt the port workers who now do not have a shipment to unload. This will ripple down the line to the port's vendors and suppliers and their suppliers and vendors and so on and so on." Beene also told Newsweek: "Tariffs are going to have a tremendous effect on some imports because businesses - particularly smaller ones that specialize in a specific industry - are going to have a harder time turning a profit on items while having to pay an additional 10 percent or more to bring it into the United States." Michael Ryan, finance expert and founder of told Newsweek: "The collapse in port traffic is a textbook case of tariffs doing exactly what economists warned about. When you make imports more expensive, demand falls off a cliff—and the pain doesn't stop at the docks." Kevin Thompson, CEO of 9i Capital Group and host of the 9innings podcast, told Newsweek: "The larger implications can be summed up into one word: JOBS. Truckers, doc workers, shippers will all be impacted by the slowing economics of tariffs. People will lose their jobs, no question about it. It just depends how far downstream the tentacles stretch." What Happens Next As international ports navigate the new tariffs, employees and small businesses will experience the fallout, experts say. "The individual workers and the small business owners cannot fund a dramatic downturn," Powers said. "Businesses will go under, retail spaces will go vacant, houses will be foreclosed on, and kids will delay going to college. The major corporations with deep pockets will survive and grab more market share and power at the expense of every small business owner and hard working American. This is not a good thing." Ryan called the reduced port traffic a "blinking red light" for the economy. "The math is simple: tariffs raise costs, demand drops, and the whole economic engine slows down," Ryan said. "This is no longer a game of chicken, or 'cards.' The tariffs are real, the losses are mounting, and the economic fallout is hitting home."

IDOL recovers unpaid wages for workers on Saline County solar project
HENDERSON, Ky. (WEHT) – The Illinois Department of Labor (IDOL) has recovered over $85,000 in unpaid wages. The IDOL has recovered these unpaid wages for 17 workers that were employed on a construction project in Saline County. IDOL also recovered more than $17,000 in penalties from D&D Electric, LLC (D&D). Eggs sold at Walmart, other grocers in 9 states recalled amid salmonella outbreak 'Illinois law requires that employees on publicly funded projects be paid a fair wage for their skilled work,' said Illinois Department of Labor Director Jane Flanagan. 'Making these workers whole reflects IDOL's commitment to enforcing the Prevailing Wage Act and holding employers accountable when they violate workers' rights.' IDOL says it began its investigation of the Harrisburg, Illinois-based contractor in 2024 for its work on a solar panel installation. The department says it determined D&D violated the State's Prevailing Wage Act by allegedly failing to properly classify workers and correctly compensate them for fringe benefits and overtime. IDOL explains the Prevailing Wage Act requires contractors and subcontractors to pay laborers, workers and mechanics employed on public works projects no less than the general prevailing rate of wages, which consists of hourly cash wages plus fringe benefits, for work of similar character in the locality where the work is performed. U.S. Supreme Court to hear Representative Bost's case on mail-in voting IDOl says the Illinois Climate and Equitable Jobs Act (CEJA) ensured that new clean energy construction jobs are also quality high-wage jobs by requiring that contractors pay prevailing wages for workers on projects receiving incentives through the Illinois Power Agency. Officials say if a worker believes they have not been properly compensated for work performed in Illinois, they can file a complaint online or call 312-793-2800 with questions.
