In this short clip from Live Trading Room (Feb 11, 2025), Samantha LaDuc explains how tariffs are inflationary, as companies immediately pass costs to consumers even before they take effect.
She highlights how oil is rising alongside yields, with a particular focus on gold—specifically GLD—amid market uncertainty.
