Any economist asked to assess the economic and market outlook can only offer a deep sigh of resignation.

If I have a tax bill coming due soon, should I sell investments to raise cash - potentially realizing taxes and missing out on gains - or should I borrow and pay interest on the loan so that I can keep the portfolio invested? Dan Scansaroli, Head of Global Investment Management Multi-Asset Solutions & Co-Head Investment Management Americas, and Justin Waring, Head of UBS Wealth Way Strategy & Solutions, help answer this questions and examine the tradeoff. Host: Daniel Cassidy
The US insists peace talks are taking place with Iran. Markets are inclined to be skeptical of US statements in the absence of Iranian verification. The US 15-point peace plan was rejected, which was not a surprise for investors.

Domestic US politics may be reinforcing the perception that the US wishes to exit the war. The Florida state house district that includes the Mar-A-Lago estate was won by a Democrat who campaigned on the affordability crisis, despite US President Trump endorsing and voting (by mail) for the Republican candidate.
