  • Foreign.

  • Hello and welcome to Business Matters here on the BBC World Service with me, Rahul Tandon.

  • We're going to try and navigate you through these difficult times for the global economy.

  • Tariffs once again are going to be a big part of the conversation on the program.

  • And guiding us through that conversation,

  • we have Karen Percy reported, based in Melbourne in Australia.

  • They seem to be uncertain times for the global economy.

  • Karen, do you get that sense?

  • Are you feeling a bit uncertain about what may lie ahead?

  • Oh, holy moly.

  • Yes, it feels very, very uncertain, very, very unpredictable.

  • And not just because of that one person in the U.S.

  • but I think that, you know, real fears of contagion, of this kind of behaviour.

  • So definitely feeling a little unsettled here for sure.

  • And Walter Todd, the markets have been a little unsettled, of course.

  • President and Chief Investment Officer of Greenwood Capital.

  • Do you wake up every morning thinking this is going to be another tricky day?

  • Yeah, absolutely.

  • What's the next headline?

  • I definitely have tariff fatigue as the market, as the market seems to at this point as well.
