Fed’s Bullard: Impeachment discussion shows political uncertainty could last until Nov. 2020

The decision by House Democrats to open a formal impeachment inquiry against President Donald Trump is just more political uncertainty, said St. Louis Fed President James Bullard on Wednesday. "Viewing it from a distance, this just sounds like more investigation to me," Bullard said on CNBC. "We’re used to dealing with political uncertainty as a backdrop to monetary policy-making. This doesn’t sound too different to me," he said. "I expect that investors will just have to take on board that there will be a certain amount of political uncertainty going forward until we get to the 2020 election."

Vaping Brand Juul Labs Pulling $100M In Advertising From Broadcast, Digital, Print

Juul Labs, one of the leading vape brands, has suspended its broadcast, digital and print advertising in the U.S. as a new CEO takes over. The firm spent $104 million in the first half of 2019, according to Kantar Media, up enormously from 2018.

Last week, CBS, WarnerMedia and Viacom dropped e-cigarette advertising, citing rising health concerns and the growing number of teenage vapers. Cigarette ads are illegal on TV, but vaping ads were permitted.

Coinciding with the advertising decision was news that K.C. Crosthwaite will take over as Juul CEO, replacing Kevin Burns. Crosthwaite is a former chief growth officer for Altria (formerly Philip Morris), which owns a minority stake in Juul.

Juul has not said whether the advertising halt is temporary, or whether it will turn its efforts toward other forms of advertising and marketing, or continue to do so in other markets. It also said it would not lobby against legislation designed to restrict advertising targeted to minors.
