Trading markets hate uncertainty and Week 15 has been full of it, bringing a wild see-saw to the value of some of the ASX 200’s most dominant stocks.

“Don’t panic. The worst thing you can do now is crystalise a loss,” says Andrew Baxter.

Time to buy?

Baxter is an investment advisor, educator, author, and regular HotCopper commentator. In this interview, he discusses what’s been happening in markets this week – and how to handle the volatility as an investor.

We explore whether it might be time to buy the likes of CBA (ASX:CBA), BHP Group (ASX:BHP), Santos (ASX:STO), and Woodside (ASX:WDS).

Baxter also talks about Australia’s underlying inflation issues, the cost of living crisis, and what Trump’s tariffs might mean for interest rates.
