    With new inflation data and the April Jobs report falling short of expectations, the Federal Reserve is in a tough spot, potentially putting investors in a tougher spot due to uncertainty. With the election season heating up, there is mounting challenges for the market. Yahoo Finance Anchors Brian Sozzi and Akiko Fujita are joined by Nuveen Investments CIO Saira Malik at the Annual Milken Global Institute Conference to discuss what investors need to keep in mind as the election approaches during this current economic environment. Malik reminds investors what they need to pay attention to: "We do have new things to consider this year even though the candidates are known, which would be sort of a positive for the markets because they like transparency and clarity.
