Episode 173: Investment Friday – Market Turmoil, Trump’s Tariffs & Recession Risk with Brad Haines


Market turbulence is back in full force. But what's really behind the sell-off? And how should investors respond when fear spikes and volatility dominates the headlines?

In today's episode, Hannah Chapman, CFP®, APMA®, CRPC® and Brad Haines, CFA®, FRM®, and CIO of Juncture Wealth Strategies, break down the economic and market impacts of the Trump Administration's latest tariff announcements. With broad-based tariffs ranging from 10% to 49% hitting nearly every country except Belarus and Russia, the global market reactions have been swift and sharp.

Listen in to learn more about:

  • The new tariffs and why Vietnam is being hit with a 46% tariff rate

  • What the VIX volatility index spiking to 43 means for investors

  • How tariffs could disrupt supply chains and corporate earnings for major companies like Apple

  • Why the probability of a U.S. recession has jumped from 10% to 35–40%

  • What stagflation is, and how it could drive inflation and rates in opposite directions

  • How to approach market downturns as a long-term investor

  • Why this kind of environment could be a powerful opportunity for accumulation

If you're in the growth phase of life, this episode helps you stay grounded, focused, and ready to make strategic moves. If you're closer to or in retirement, we cover key considerations to protect your income strategy without reacting emotionally to short-term headlines.
