Tim shares his insights on the sell-off sparked by Trump’s trade war bluster, his outlook on Facebook and escalating concerns that globalisation would be hurt by worsening China-US relations. He also discusses America's growth outlook in the face of the Fed's steepening rate policy, and how new Chair Jerome Powell might (or might not) differ from his predecessors.
