EARLY DROP!!! We know tariffs and markets are on your mind so we're dropping this episode ahead of time to give you even more time to plot out how to take on your week!

On WSJ’s Take On the Week, co-host Telis Demos and guest co-host Miriam Gottfried get right into President Trump’s unveiling of his latest tariff policies. Then, they discuss the upcoming first quarter earnings results season. They talk about why they’re curious regarding what Delta Air Lines and used-car retailer CarMax have to say when the companies report earnings later this coming week.

Later on the show, Telis and Miriam dive deeper into corporate earnings season with Christine Short, head of research of Wall Street Horizon, which is part of the financial services company TMX Group. They talk about what Trump’s trade war means for automotive companies, including General Motors and Ford, and what forward-looking guidance from companies like Dollar Tree, Southwest Airlines, Walmart and others could offer as a clue into how the corporate world is dealing with tariffs.

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.
