Welcome to the Wall Street Week newsletter, bringing you stories of capitalism about things you need to know, but even more things you need to think about. I’m David Westin, and this week we examined what new Trump administration policies could mean for investors, talking with BlackRock's Rick Rieder about the federal deficit and with PIMCO's Libby Cantrill about tariffs. If you're not yet a subscriber, sign up here for this newsletter.

As President Trump moves back into the Oval Office, we asked Rick Rieder, BlackRock CIO of global fixed income and head of fundamental fixed income and global allocation investment, what investors should anticipate this time around. Overall, he sees a lot of potential good coming our way: Continued above-trend growth, favorable fiscal policies, less regulation and more of that "American exceptionalism."
