In this episode Jason Swartz Portfolio Manager at Old Mutual Investment Group, provides an insightful analysis of Donald Trump's return to the White House and its potential implications for markets, especially in South Africa. With the US Senate now in Republican hands, Trump's approach is likely to be inflationary, heightening global interest rates and strengthening the dollar — a challenging environment for emerging markets.
