In this episode, Scott Becker shares three quick insights on tariffs.
Chapter 1: What are the current market conditions affecting investors?
This is Scott Becker with the Becker Private Equity and Business Podcast. Today's podcast is going to be a short podcast, three notes on tariffs. First, the markets tanked yesterday and they look like they're tanking again today. Truly a tough week for investors. Let's hope for a better week next week.
Chapter 2: What is the impact of cheap Chinese goods on global markets?
Chapter 3: How is the Trump administration handling tariffs?
Second, one of the most interesting and telling headlines I saw in as to how we got here from the Wall Street Journal today. The Wall Street Journal has a headline story that says the rest of the world is bracing for a flood of cheap Chinese goods. I find this fascinating because this is part of the problem. And I'm not sure I love how President Trump is handling it.
But this is part of the challenge. And I'll go to point three. I am not a big fan of tariffs. At the same time, I do understand it is very hard to have higher wage jobs here if we are buying goods that are made for $3 an hour overseas. Again, I'm not a fan, but I understand some of the concepts. That's sort of our three quick points on tariffs this morning.
And we're in for a bit of a wild ride right now. We'll see how it plays through. But that's what we're seeing. That's what we're talking about.
