Webinar Sponsored by United Agencies Insurance
Please join us on Wednesday, May 14th at 10:00AM (PDT) for our next new webinar event entitled, The New Roaring 20s? Outlook for Growth & Inflation Amidst Rising Uncertainty!”
2025, so far, has not been for the faint of heart. The year began on solid footing—growth was steady, investors were optimistic, and both business and consumer sentiment were on the rise. The new administration promised the dawn of a New Golden Age, powered by deregulation, tax cuts and a pro-growth agenda.
Lately, however, markets and business leaders are confronting a much darker scenario. Consumer sentiment has plummeted to historic lows, stock markets have entered correction territory, and growth has begun to stall. Policy uncertainty coming from the White House — on tariffs, to immigration, spending cuts and a shrinking federal workforce— has fueled a powerful “growth scare.” The result: a dramatic shift from early-year optimism to mounting economic anxiety.
What’s in store for the rest of this year and beyond? Will the economy continue to grow or will it slip into a recession? Will it be trapped in a stagflationary path with slower growth and high inflation?
This presentation will address these issues such as:
- What is the outlook for tariffs and their impact on the economy?
- What is the outlook for taxes, and deregulation under the new administration?
- What will be the impact of DOGE on the economy?
- How will the policies of the new administration impact the economy?
- Is inflation behind us?
- Will the correction in stock market continue?
- Will the Fed continue to cut rates?
- Will the economy avoid a recession?
- Will the housing market normalize?
- Are woes in commercial real estate over?
- And much more!
