Ellen Hazen, CFA, our Chief Market Strategist and Portfolio Manager, joined YahooFinance to discuss the economic risks investors are watching after Moody’s downgrade.

Equity markets have seemingly shrugged off Moody’s downgrade to the US credit rating, but concerns are growing over earnings pressure and global investor outflows.

Ellen Hazen, chief market strategist and portfolio manager at F.L.Putnam Investment Management Co., says the real risk is negative earnings revisions driven by tighter immigration policies and labor costs.
