Markets have become volatile largely in response to the prospects of increased tariffs from the US, retaliatory responses from other countries, and fears about the negative impact both could have on inflation and economic growth globally.

Still, our investment and economics team have shared a number of insights to help investors understand what to make of this period of heightened uncertainty and how portfolios might be positioned to both mitigate the risks and capitalise on the opportunities today’s markets present.
