In this flash episode of The Wealth Enterprise Briefing, WE Family Office's Michael Zeuner, managing partner, and Sam Sudame, senior investment manager, examine how sweeping new tariffs are reshaping the U.S. economic outlook and financial markets. Their conversation provides a clear assessment of the potential shift from strong fundamentals to a stagflationary environment.

Topics covered include:

The newly announced 10% minimum tariff on all U.S. imports and rising country-specific rates
Estimated economic effects, including slower growth and higher inflation
The rapid $2 trillion market cap loss in 48 hours, and broader corrections across equity markets
How supply-side shocks challenge Federal Reserve policy responses
Strategies for both new and existing investors during periods of heightened volatility

Michael and Sam explain why patience, diversification and a steady hand are especially important at this stage. They also highlight how current conditions may offer opportunities for investors building long-term portfolios.

We encourage you to contact us if you would like to discuss what these developments could mean for your personal investment plan.
