3 factors keeping the US economy strong despite policy uncertainty

Goldman Sachs Investment Strategy Group head of tactical asset allocation Brett Nelson joins Catalysts to analyze market (^DJI, ^IXIC, ^GSPC) dynamics amid ongoing political policy uncertainty.

Nelson highlights the Trump administration’s diverging economic approach, noting “market-friendly” policies like tax cuts and deregulation while acknowledging potential challenges with immigration and tariff strategies.

“It’s really a question of how far that dial is turned in either direction,” he tells Yahoo Finance, describing market-friendly options as “the cornerstone” of the administration’s economic strategy.

Nelson emphasizes the United States’s unique global economic position, noting it remains the wealthiest country with the deepest financial markets. “It’s the only country in the world that has all three of those characteristics,” he explains, arguing that these advantages transcend individual administrations and will continue regardless of uncertainty.

“These are things that are likely to persist regardless of the headline noise we get around tariffs,” Nelson concludes, expressing continued confidence in market growth for the year.
