How tariff uncertainty affects the economy and your money

There's been a lot of talk over the past few weeks about the economy and a word that keeps coming up is ... uncertainty.

President Trump's changing tariff policies have made it difficult for businesses and consumers to plan. Stock markets here and abroad have plunged and then recovered some ground and then dropped again.

Many of us have questions about what's happening and how the uncertainty could affect prices, our jobs and savings.

Coming up at 9 a.m. on Monday, MPR News host Angela Davis talks about the economy with Neel Kashkari, the president and chief executive officer of the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis.

Later in the hour, she'll talk with a financial advisor about how to manage your money during stock market swings and an unsettled job market.

And we want to hear from you, too.

What questions do you have about tariffs, interest rates, the job market or the economy? What do you want to know about how to manage your money during economic uncertainty?

Call us during the 9 a.m. hour at 651-227-6000 or 800-242-2828.
