Tariff Trends and the Automotive Shift

On today's episode, we take a look at the impact of how US tariffs are reverberating through the global automotive industry. Ford Motor Company is preparing to raise prices on cars rolling off assembly lines starting next month if President Donald Trump doesn't deliver on the tariff relief he's hinted at for automakers, while Chinese EV maker Xpeng is ramping up its global expansion -- despite the intensifying trade war between Washington and Beijing, and the European Union's punitive tariffs against Chinese cars. We speak with Dr. Stephen Dyer, Head of the Asia Automotive Practice at AlixPartners.

Plus - Warnings from Chair Jerome Powell that trade tensions risk undermining the Federal Reserve's employment and inflation goals whipped up fresh volatility on Wall Street Wednesday, with stocks resuming sharp declines while haven assets like Treasuries and gold surged. We unpack the day's market moves with Shams Afzal, Managing Director at the Carnegie Investment Counsel.
