• Investor guide to tariffs and the Aussie election

  In the lead-up to the Australian election, we speak to Scott Phillips of The Motley Fool on markets, party politics—and of course, tariffs. Scott believes that market volatility will run its course, reminding us of the roaring bull market that followed massive covid sell-offs. While he’s optimistic about the long-term, he also has sobering predictions for the near-term impact of tariffs on the Australian economy and beyond. Is one particular party better for the economy? How much does the election outcome really affect the share market? Scott has thoughts on how both parties' proposed policies might affect Australia's budget deficit, and what really helps with long-term prosperity and a healthy economy. Plus, a hopeful message for young Aussies about the power of time in the market.
