Janet Yellen Says Economy Shows No Signs Of Downturn, Too Soon To Forecast Potential Impacts Of UAW Strike
Portfolio Pulse from Adam Eckert
Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen stated that the U.S. economy shows no signs of a downturn, with inflation trending lower, a healthy labor market, and robust consumer spending. She also mentioned that it's too early to predict the potential impacts of the ongoing U.S. auto industry strikes. The strikes involve workers from Ford Motor Co, General Motors Co, and Stellantis N.V., who are demanding wage increases similar to the 40% increase CEOs have seen over the last four years.
