Trump’s trade war is back. But this time, Kiwi homeowners might be the ones who pay the price.

In 2025, the global stage is on fire — with the U.S. reigniting tariffs under “Liberation Day” and China retaliating hard. The headlines scream about Washington vs Beijing… but the real-world shockwaves are already crashing into the South Pacific.

In this episode, we unpack how Trump’s global economic warfare could ripple straight into New Zealand’s housing market, mortgage system, and household budgets.

🔍 Here’s what we cover in full:
Trump’s 145% tariff play and why it’s triggering global instability

China’s countermeasures and how they could rewire trade lanes

What this means for New Zealand’s exports, import costs, and OCR trajectory

Why Kiwi households are more vulnerable now than in previous cycles

How Westpac, the RBNZ, and government economists are quietly positioning

Strategic advice for mortgage holders, property buyers, and investors right now

The hidden macro-to-mortgage chain reaction no one else is explaining

🏡 NZ Property vs Global Politics

Kiwi property doesn’t exist in a vacuum. And when tariffs fly and supply chains bend, the downstream effects hit your interest rate, cost of living, and loan servicing capacity.

Whether you own a home, invest in real estate, or just care about the future of your wallet — this breakdown matters.
