Show Notes

New unemployment claims drop, pointing to a steady labor market, but oil prices surge, threatening consumer spending and hiring. Economists forecast weaker job growth and a higher unemployment rate in 2026 due to uncertainty from tariffs and immigration policies. Trade deficit widens as imports rise and exports hit a record high, with war disruptions looming large. Job openings and hiring dip recently, and March payrolls are out, keeping an eye on how this calm holds amid rising risks.
