Episode #7 | Tariffs, tipping points and butterfly effects: Trade turbulence hits global markets

In this episode of The Active Investor with SGH, Steve Hiscock is joined by Chief Investment Officer Rob Hogg to unpack the global impact of the sweeping US tariff announcements made overnight, and what they mean for investors.

With new tariffs targeting not just China (up 54%) but also key allies including Taiwan (32%), India (26%), Korea (25%) and Japan (24%), and existing tariffs on Canada and Mexico remaining unchanged, this marks a dramatic escalation in US trade policy.

Steve and Rob discuss:

Initial market reactions across equities, rates, and currencies
What Trump's emphasis on "reciprocity" really signals
How different countries — including Australia — may be affected
The inflationary and monetary policy implications globally
Europe's fiscal response, China's potential stimulus, and macro crosswinds
What this means for portfolio positioning in an environment of heightened uncertainty.

This episode provides timely and thoughtful analysis for investors seeking to navigate a rapidly changing geopolitical and economic landscape.
