Recession vs. Stagflation and Jobs. Economist Weighs in on What’s Next

On WSJ’s Take On the Week, co-host Telis Demos and guest co-host Miriam Gottfried dive into the impending 25 percent tariffs that are set to be placed on global automotive imports to the U.S. Then, we explore what the bond market tells us and what a decrease in the U.S. Treasury yields means for investors. Plus, is the IPO market buzzing? Provider of specialized cloud-computing services, CoreWeave, is the latest company to debut for trading. With companies like StubHub, eToro, and Klarna also announcing public offerings, does this mean more deals are on the horizon? Later on the show, Telis and Miriam discuss what we can expect from the forthcoming jobs report and how it will offer a big clue to where the economy is heading with Aditya Bhave, a senior U.S. economist for Bank of America's investment banking arm BofA Securities. Bhave shares his take on why concerns of stagflation may be "overstated" and why there’s no margin for error on the Federal Reserve’s inflation mandate. This is WSJ’s Take On the Week where co-hosts Gunjan Banerji, lead writer for Live Markets, and Telis Demos, Heard on the Street’s banking and money columnist, cut through the noise and dive into markets, the economy and finance—the big trades, key players and business news ahead.
