How investors should navigate markets amid policy uncertainty
Listen and subscribe to Stocks In Translation on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you find your favorite podcast Since President Trump's inauguration, the market has become increasingly more volatile due to the commander in chief's tariff implementation, Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency mitigation of government spending, and a looming government shutdown, just to name a few. In this clip from the latest episode of Stocks in Translation, J.P. Morgan Asset Management global market strategist Stephanie Aliaga joins Markets and Data Editor Jared Blikre and Yahoo Finance Anchor Madison Mills to discuss policy uncertainty and how investors should navigate different variables coming from Washington, D.C. that could impact their portfolios. Aliaga refers to an analogy that Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell once used, and that is 'driving through the fog of uncertainty'. '[The Fed] knows the road they're on, they know the direction they're on - and that one's a pretty good road. It's one the economy is still growing at, or maybe slightly above its trend GDP growth rate, inflation coming down. But there's this fog of uncertainty. What do you do in the midst of the fog? You slow down a little bit. That's what the Fed is doing. They're on hold likely until the summer at least. For investors, we have to decide how we position in the midst of the fog given that there's upside and there's downside risk,' Aliaga explains. 'I think the way investors are positioning is quite notable. That is leaning into diversification, checking your headlights, checking your brakes in the midst of the storm. How are you protected or potentially can benefit from the way the chips fall?' To hear more of Aliaga's thoughts, watch the full interview here.

IShowSpeed Declared Mayor of Lima During Peru Visit
recent trip to Peru seems to have reaped great gifts for the popular YouTuber, as he was officially named the honorary Mayor of Lima for one hour. The internet celebrity is currently touring South America and has already visited Colombia, Guatemala, and Argentina. In his latest escapade, Darren Jason Watkins Jr., as is his original name, landed on the shores of Peru to experience the country's rich culture. However, in an unprecedented development, IShowSpeed ended up becoming the mayor of Lima temporarily. Here's everything you need to know regarding the 20-year-old influencer's bizarre trip to Peru's capital city. Continuing his tour of the diverse continent, IShowSpeed arrived in Peru on January 29. A huge hoard of fans commemorated his welcome, after which the YouTuber decided to embark on a culinary journey, trying out various delicacies of the region. Nevertheless, IShowSpeed's trip quickly took an unexpected turn when Lima's presiding Mayor, Rafael López Aliaga, decided to nominate him in his stead for an hour. The online streamer also filmed the entire encounter live and has since posted the three-and-a-half-hour video on his YouTube channel. Entering the Government Palace wearing a Peru National Team jersey, the online superstar proceeded to a private room alongside Aliaga and a dedicated security team.
