Hi Team,
I am surprised that some brokers are advocating their clients to buy stocks during these volatile times. From my perspective, given the respective tariff positions of Trump& Xi, it will be a long struggle & potentially get ugly before the market stabilises. Immediate improvement in the stock market can be expected if the tariffs are dialled back. My question is,1) how can Interactive Brokers offer their clients good deposit rates on the spare cash in their accounts?
Hi Market Matters Team,
Hi guys, I suspect you’ll be getting a fair few questions this week in regards to independence day. Would you mind including your thoughts and best guesses for various indices please. The last couple of months has been brutal for my account with the huge whipsawing and it would be good to have a 2nd opinion. I have largely agreed with you so far that the lows were in a few weeks ago and a big sell off on Wednesday was likely. I was surprised by the run up across various indices over this week, which to me suggests that large holders were prepared to put their cash to work and were confident that the tariffs would be short lived.
Currently it still early Thursday morning, but the ASX200 seems to be holding above last months lows which I thought we would be hitting at open. Nasdaq futures have hit new lows again, would that be from tariffs or reallocations as the other US indices seem to holding above previous lows. Similarly, European markets are still well above last years range.
Now I am in my eighties, I feel I should concentrate on ETFs, advice on the best ETFs I would like to invest in the next few weeks.
Hi guys, first up, I appreciate the work which goes into to all the reports, and can only imagine how many questions there will be this week. (No need to get to this one)
Anyway, I was just pondering if companies are actually looking at setting up in the U.S. Just as a thought, surely the price difference from producing in Asia / India is a fraction of the price of the U.S. even just in labour costs. Would they really have a saving by relocating rather than just having the tariff applied; surely the production costs would out weigh the tariff. I understand it’s a very broad, general view with lots of different scenarios and industries, but my thinking is the tax won’t necessarily hit the bottom $ unlike operating costs.
Regards,
Simon
Hello
Firstly Thankyou for your advise, I find it reassuring.
Would you be buying more MQG with the drop in share price.

Hi All,
Your analysis of the tariffs this week has been really valuable. I liked that you kept reminding us to look beyond the headlines.
My question relates to Uranium. I am wondering if the push to greater manufacturing in the US and presumably other high-cost locations as tariffs bite is a positive for AI because it has the capacity to reduce labour costs. Does this make sense? If so, does that bode well for Uranium?
