Amidst rising tensions and trade tariffs, market discussion often lands on how rising costs of US imports will affect the American consumer, the US balance of trade, inflation and what it all means for the US dollar.

Ning Sun, our senior emerging market strategist in the Americas, joins the podcast for a wide ranging discussion of how risks might be avoided and where they still need to be priced.
