Libby Cantrell of PIMCO believes the market is largely fading the proposal for a $5,000 dividend to every U.S. adult, stating it's not going to happen. She draws a parallel to tariff dividends, suggesting neither will materialize, and notes the lack of effort to address affordability concerns in Congress.
“I think that to your earlier points, I mean, the market is largely fading this. I think the big question is why after the midterms and why not now?”
“So I think the bottom line here is it's good that the market is fading this. This is not going to happen. We never saw tariff dividends, and we're not going to see a Trump dividend either.”
