The U.S. stock market has been on a rollercoaster—and it’s all thanks to policy shake-ups and intensifying trade tensions. In this episode, we break down the dramatic events of the past week: from President Trump’s surprise announcement of sweeping 10% tariffs on April 2nd (and targeted duties on 60 countries), to a sudden reversal that paused most of those tariffs—except for China, where rates soared to 125%.

Markets plummeted, then rebounded just as fast—what does it all mean? And how can investors make sense of such unpredictable times?

To help us navigate this complex landscape, we’re joined by Matthias Richter, a seasoned financial advisor and founder of Financial Imagineer. Together, we explore the three essential questions every investor should ask during a trade war:

1. The role of the Triffin Dilemma and why it still matters today.

2. What is the most important currency in the world—and why you should care.

3. How to position yourself strategically during economic uncertainty and seize potential opportunities.

Whether you’re feeling anxious or curious, this episode is packed with insight and actionable advice to help you stay informed and proactive.
