Walking the tariff tightrope
Roger Montgomery
May 5, 2025
A great deal has already been written about President Trump’s tariff policies, which have ignited a fierce debate among global investors and reshaped the landscape of international trade and economic strategy.
If every nation played fair, laid down their weapons, worked in harmony, peace and unity for a global common good, there would be no need for tariffs. But of course, such a world doesn’t exist on this side of Armageddon. In a world shaped by competition, dishonesty and insecurity, Trump sees tariffs as a way of resetting the compass. Continue…

This weekend Australia will vote for blackouts.
Roger Montgomery
May 2, 2025
Australia’s aggressive pursuit of renewable energy, championed by the Teal independents and the Labor government, is sold as a path to cheaper electricity and a cleaner future. The promise is seductive: wind and solar will slash power bills while saving the planet.
Yet, recent events in Europe – most notably Spain’s massive blackout and Germany’s ongoing grid struggles – expose this narrative as dangerously naive. Forcing intermittent renewable energy onto aging grids without adequate investment in stability measures is a recipe for chaos, and this weekend, I suspect, Australia will vote to barrel down the same path.

Cash is king when it’s used effectively
Roger Montgomery
May 2, 2025
In the world of investing, few assets are as polarising as cash. On one hand, holding cash in an environment where interest rates lag inflation guarantees a loss of purchasing power. On the other hand, cash can be a powerful tactical tool for seizing opportunities, particularly in times of market distress.

Ausbiz – 100 days of Trump
Roger Montgomery
May 1, 2025
I joined Juliette Saly on Ausbiz to discuss the first 100 days of the Trump administration, which has been marked by controversial executive orders, mass deportations, ‘January 6’ pardons, and of course – tariffs.
Economically, we see fears of stagflation loom (with Goldman Sachs forecasting minimal GDP growth or even a mild recession), a 19 per cent S&P drop, rising inflation expectations, falling consumer confidence, and small business strain. Continue…

Navigating the storm
Roger Montgomery
May 1, 2025
In the days following Trump’s tariff announcement, the S&P 500 plunged 10 per cent in just two days, 10-year treasury yields swung wildly, and gold, after touching a peak, stumbled. Add to this the backdrop of escalating global trade tensions – think U.S.-China tariffs – and it’s no surprise that investors are on edge. Meanwhile, consumers are wrestling with their own worries about inflation, jobs, and the economy’s trajectory. Continue…
