Analyst: Consumer confidence becomes a key variable

Golden Ten Data, May 8, Adam Reinert, chief investment officer of Marshall Financial Corporation in Pennsylvania, said that while Powell and his colleagues may be able to get some comfort from recent labor market data, the threat of further impact of tariffs is real, which may prompt them to take action in future meetings. At a macro level, we think a key consideration will be whether the actual data is starting to confirm weaker consumer confidence, or whether consumers will continue to show resilience as they did in 2022. If the 2018 tariff talks have anything to offer, it's that the Fed may need to adopt a less hawkish and more accommodative policy to get markets and the economy out of any potential tariff-related woes.
