## Caption

On April 9th, the U.S. administration announced a 90-day tariff pause on country-specific reciprocal tariffs, exempting key tech imports while maintaining high tariffs on select Chinese goods. This decision introduced extraordinary volatility to global markets. But the question remains, how should investors respond when considering the implications of prolonged uncertainty, including potential recession risks, impacts on corporate investment, and consumer spending? 

In this episode of the Bid, Oscar Pulido is joined by Alex Brazier, Global Head of Investment & Portfolio Solutions and Helen Jewell, Chief Investment Officer for EMEA at BlackRock. Alex and Helen will help us unpack the details of this tariff pause, its effects on market dynamics, and provide strategic insights for investors considering how to navigate volatile markets.
