After the decent March jobs report, Wall Street is now ratcheting up the likelihood of another Fed hike in a few weeks. But our economists say “not so fast!” They’ll explain why more hikes would be a “big mistake” for the Fed, and where they think rates should go next. Plus, we’ll dig into the biggest pain points – as well as some unexpected bright spots – for the upcoming earnings season as low expectations take hold. And, China just wrapped up 3 days of military exercises around Taiwan. We’ve got the latest details, and the U.S. response.
