Markets, Mystics & Mayhem podcast: Ep28

Published on 29 April 2025

We’re back after a week off, and we’re still sitting, waiting, wishing for tariff de-escalation. Trade talks remain underway between several countries and the US. But any announcements are yet to be seen. And no one knows if the US trade talks with China have started. Trump says they have. China says they haven’t.  We’re stuck in limbo. Time is of the essence, and the clock is ticking. The longer negotiations take, the longer the global economy remains in a heightened sense of insecurity. And the greater the damage to global growth. The IMF has already started slashing their forecasts for global growth. Talk is cheap, so far, but the economic costs are already mounting.

It’s mayhem, messy and melodramatic in markets
