On this episode of The Lebenthal Report, Dominick and Michael dive into the recent stock market volatility triggered by the Trump administration's tariff announcements, followed by an unexpected rebound that pushed the S&P 500 into positive territory for the year. They explore whether this recovery is sustainable or masking deeper economic vulnerabilities. Joined by Meera Pandit, Executive Director at JP Morgan Asset Management, the trio examines the mixed signals in consumer spending, the challenges small businesses face due to tariffs and inflation, and the shifting expectations around interest rates and recession risk. Meera offers insight into investment strategies, sector performance, and international markets, while also breaking down the implications of the new “Big Beautiful Bill” tax legislation. The discussion rounds out with a look at how AI is impacting utilities, why pharma might be ripe for M&A, and what the future holds for equity valuations and economic resilience.
