Tit for tat tariffs
About this episode
Phil Dobbie discusses the impact of geopolitical tensions and economic surveys on market confidence with guest Ken Crompton.
Wednesday 9th September 2026 NAB Markets Research Disclaimer Financial Services Guide | Information on our services - NAB Oil is higher because more is happening in the Middle East. That’s adding to inflation concerns. There are tensions elsewhere too- between the US and Israel (Israel has closed a UK consulate in East Jerusalem), and between the US and Canada with Canada imposing tit for tat tariffs, whilst promising closer ties with Europe. Locally the NAB Business Survey showed a move down in confidence, as did the Westpac consumer survey. Phil asks NAB’s Ken Crompton how much falling house prices had to play in both those results.
