How many times will the market fall for it?
Episode 199
Thursday, 26 March, 2026
When should investors react to headlines and when should they hold steady? Philip Petursson, Chief Investment Strategist, IG Wealth Management, addresses the challenge of separating emotional reactions from sound evaluation during volatile periods. He discusses the Trump administration's consistent pattern of escalation followed by de-escalation, why oil price increases don't automatically signal recession, and what historical data reveals about the difference between ordinary corrections and genuine market crashes. Philip shares why current economic indicators — strong jobless claims, improving manufacturing and resilient trade data — suggest fundamentals remain solid despite unsettling headlines from Washington, Jerusalem and Tehran.
