Episode #140: Trump's inauguration: a volatility that we 'have to get used to'

After a stronger than expected 2024, it's been a reasonably good start to markets this year despite the US 10 year Treasury yield nearing 5% - a mark rarely seen since the GFC. This has been fuelled by higher inflation and persisting concerns over the debt ceiling issue in the US. With further details expected on tariffs and tax measures under the new administration, join Shane and Diana as they analyse the outlook for the US economy and markets under a Trump presidency, what the economic indicators mean for shares, and what we can expect in the year ahead.
