▼ + stars: | 2024-11-12 | by ( Dominick Reuter | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +5 min

Donald Trump's election victory last week is already having an effect on global supply chains. While many firms are waiting to see what Trump's trade policies will be, some are moving ahead. From medical supplies to consumer products, several companies are getting an early start to changing their supply chains. Several companies, however, aren't waiting to make changes to their supply chains. Fortune Brands, which owns a portfolio of home products brands like Moen plumbing fixtures and Yale locks, has been rethinking its supply chain since Trump's tariffs in 2017.

"I think the biggest difference when Terence came on was just that enthusiasm," LeSueur told the podcast.

CNN —Stocks and consumer sentiment are rising in tandem after slumping last year, in another sign of growing optimism that the economy could dodge a recession. Consumer sentiment tracked by the University of Michigan jumped 13% in July, notching its second consecutive month of improvement. That comes after stocks and consumer sentiment tumbled in 2022 as sticky inflation and the Federal Reserve’s aggressive pace of interest rate hikes spurred fears that the US economy would tip into a recession. “Consumer sentiment reached levels consistent with the lows of some past recessions last summer,” wrote Lori Calvasina, head of US equity strategy at RBC Capital Markets. Still, consumer sentiment could decline if more people lose their jobs, paychecks and spending power.
