Yelena Shulyatyeva weighs in on the latest jobs report, saying the U.S. economy is indeed slowing down, with companies scaling back investment and hiring amid tariff uncertainty. She expects consumers to feel the pinch in back-to-school shopping and during the holidays as labor force participation rates decline. Despite some clarity on tariffs, Shulyatyeva warns that higher prices will hit consumer spending, leading to a significant slowdown in economic activity in the second half of the year, and potentially into 2026.
