On WSJ’s Take On the Week, co-hosts Telis Demos and Gunjan Banerji start the show by looking at why rare earth magnets remain at the center of trade talks with China. Why are business leaders like Elon Musk and Jamie Dimon critical of President Trump’s tax and spending bill, and what does it mean for bonds and the deficit? Plus, we take a look at inflation ahead of this week’s CPI report.

Later on the show, Mark Zandi, chief economist of Moody’s Analytics, gives his take on all the policy balls in the air and how where they land will affect the economy. He shares which economic barometers he’s keeping an eye on – from employment rates and immigration to inflation and consumer sentiment – and which give him confidence in a resilient U.S. economy.

This is WSJ’s Take On the Week where co-hosts Gunjan Banerji, lead writer for Live Markets, and Telis Demos, Heard on the Street’s banking and money columnist, cut through the noise and dive into markets, the economy and finance—the big trades, key players and business news ahead.
