President Donald Trump is initiating a “Great Reset” of the U.S. economy, utilizing tariffs to revive domestic manufacturing. This shift is expected to enhance economic and national security, although its full effect may take years. The dollar experienced its worst first half since 1972, influenced by rising commodity demand as companies plan infrastructure expansion in the U.S.
Freeport-McMoRan Inc. (NYSE: FCX), a major copper producer, is poised for growth due to increasing demand spurred by tariffs and new infrastructure projects. The company’s stock is up about 15% in 2025, with analysts predicting an additional 15% upside ahead of earnings on July 22. Meanwhile, Coca-Cola (NYSE: KO) is benefitting from a weaker dollar that boosts its overseas revenues, with stock performance up 10.9% in 2025. It maintains a dividend yield and consistent cash flow, making it attractive to income-seeking investors.
Verizon Communications Inc. (NYSE: VZ) has averaged a total return of 4.7% over the past decade and is up about 8% recently. Its strong dividend yield of 6.5% is among the top in its sector, supported by decreasing capital expenditures on 5G and stable subscription income.
