Trump just reignited the trade war. Global markets are panicking. And New Zealand? We might be the first real casualty.
In this urgent episode, we unpack the full implications of Trump’s new “Liberation Day” tariffs — including his shock 145% hit on Chinese imports, China’s 125% retaliation, and the market chaos already unfolding across the US, Asia, and beyond.
📉 But this isn’t just a global headline — it’s a local economic warning shot.
New Zealand's fragile recovery, export-heavy economy, and over-leveraged households make us incredibly exposed to any external economic tremor.
We’ll break down:
What the new tariffs mean for global inflation and how that flows through to the RBNZ and your mortgage
Why NZ’s economy isn’t ready for another shock — and how our fiscal tightening could make things worse
How KiwiSaver, house prices, and interest rates are all in the blast zone of global instability
Why Australia might be safer — and what that means for NZ’s economic leadership
We’re not here to fearmonger — we’re here to forecast. This is what the government won’t say, what the headlines won’t tell you, and what you need to understand before the next policy shift hits your wallet.
💣 Trump’s tariffs are back. The fuse is lit. And NZ might be standing way too close.
