Tariffs, Trade Wars & What It Means for Your Portfolio

The markets just suffered their biggest weekly drop since the GFC. Headlines are screaming panic. But what if there's a bigger story unfolding – one that could actually set up Australian investors for advantage?

This week on The Investor Lab, we're diving deep into what's really happening behind the market meltdown and emerging trade wars.

Here's what we'll unpack:
* The real story behind Trump's new tariff plan (and why it's reshaping global trade)
* Why tariffs might actually lead to lower prices in Australia (not higher)
* Are we about to head into a recession, or come out of one?
* How this massive market correction could impact your portfolio (for the better)

So if you’re getting caught in the swell, join us on Friday. We’ll break it all down.

See you on the inside,
