NAB Markets Global Head of Research, Ivan Colhoun, speaks to Gemma Dale about:

  • What tariffs have been imposed and proposed by the US, and how China has responded

  • The major drivers of the Australian economy, and how these are likely to be affected, and
  • What circumstances must arise in order for the domestic outlook to darken.
