Special: Trump tariffs - what should investors do?
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, Stuart discusses the recent Trump Tariffs and their potential impact on your investments.
The US has raised tariffs from 2.5% to 22%, causing the US market to drop 10% over two days, with, for example, Apple losing 17% of its value - equal to one third of the value of the whole ASX - $1 trillion Australian dollars.
If these tariffs remain, we could see higher living costs and inflation in the US, while supply chain disruptions could push prices even higher globally. On the flip side, other countries might experience lower inflation and interest rates as the risk of a global recession rises.
Stuart discuss whether these tariffs are a permanent strategy or a tactical move, suggesting that their long-term impact is still uncertain. With the US market now trading at April 2024 levels, he reminds listeners not to panic, as market corrections are a normal part of investing.
He also explore how this could affect your property investments, with lower interest rates and share market volatility often proving beneficial for the property market.
As long-term investors, we see market drops as opportunities to invest more strategically and continue playing the long game.
Tune in for insights on navigating this volatility and positioning your portfolio for future growth.
