Feelings, fundamentals and share market swings

The Monday Call

Summary

Less than a month ago, the S&P 500 hit a record high. Now it’s down 10%, sparking media headlines. But despite the drop, United States shares are still up over 8% in the past year.

Market swings like this are normal, and not all global markets are reacting the same way. While Trump’s trade policies dominate the conversation, they’re just one piece of a bigger picture.

This week, Mark Brooks, Chief Investment Officer at NZ Funds, joins James Grigor, Investment Strategist, to discuss these market swings. Is this a routine correction or something bigger? Are recession concerns justified, or is the noise drowning out the facts? With Trump touting economic strength while markets retrace, what’s the bigger risk – staying in or stepping out? And how can long-term investors use volatility to their advantage?
