As the world comes to grip with the shock of the US tariffs that have been imposed across the globe, New Zealand’s economy could feel the ripple effects.
While NZ has been slapped with the lowest level of tariffs compared to other countries, there is no doubt that our export-driven economy is closely tied to global trade flows—especially with China and the U.S.
Heightened trade tensions may slow global growth, impact demand for key NZ exports, and increase market volatility.
For investors, this uncertainty highlights the value of capital stability.
Even though share markets may fluctuate from time-to-time, and especially when world events such as the US tariffs are imposed, bank term deposits often provide security and predictable returns, making them a safe harbor in turbulent times.
At Xceda, we understand that preserving capital is just as important as generating returns. In times of uncertainty, term deposits offered by central bank licensed deposit takers can provide a suitable return on a risk-adjusted basis.
