The average Australian retirement fund has suffered further following one of the worst stock market crashes since the Global Financial Crisis. Donald Trump’s tariff war wiped at least $100 billion from the Australian Securities Exchange and superannuation funds have naturally been pulled into the economic firestorm – but there could be good news for mortgage holders. | *Subscribe and 🔔: http://9Soci.al/KM6e50GjSK9*

  1. Carnage for retirees/ upcoming retirees with super funds. Carnage for stock investors, carnage for AUD. Carnage for a swathe of employees.
    If you didn't think the game is rigged, you better rethink it.

  2. Did anyone ask about how come there is a 6 week wait and boxes and signature verification to gain access to super but hakers can access funds at will yet 😂 or was all that BS the other day about the dark web to stop people bailing out of certain stocks with no access to accounts and funds 😕😮

  3. It's just the end of the fiat money system since the Saudis never resigned the petrol dollar deal the debt system used worldwide has nothing backing it,so Trump is creating way to pay America's 33 trillion debt and the world will follow as this system now unfolds and looks to be heading back to Gold backed finance system which may also incorporate some crypto to a degree. If it were me get out before it drops 50% or more while the world financially resets.

  4. Carnage for young home buyers too. 700k houses now 1M thanks to these poor retirees pulling out 300k 500k supers and buying properties to keep their investments going.
    These cuts aren’t going to help those who need it the most.

    Prepare for more inflation.

  5. The massive volume of derivatives—amounting to hundreds of trillions in notional value—is artificially inflating stock market prices. These complex financial instruments often distort true market valuations, divert capital away from productive sectors of the economy, and undermine the earnings of industries that generate real, tangible value.
    The global derivatives market, with notional values exceeding hundreds of trillions of dollars, has become a key driver of asset price distortion and equity market inflation. While derivatives can serve legitimate purposes in risk management, their complexity, opacity, and leverage have introduced significant systemic risks. Warren Buffett aptly described them as ‘financial weapons of mass destruction,’ warning of their potential to trigger widespread instability. As speculative financial engineering dominates capital flows, real-economy sectors—such as manufacturing, logistics, and infrastructure—are increasingly deprived of investment and fair market recognition, leading to economic imbalance and long-term inefficiencies.
    I hope that the disruptive actions taken by Trump—whether through threats of war, imposition of tariffs, withdrawal from trade agreements, or by generating broad geopolitical and economic anxiety—serve as a catalyst for destabilizing the bloated derivatives market. Such disruption could force an overdue unwinding of these complex financial instruments, which have long distorted true market valuations and diverted capital from the real economy.

  6. Brilliant!!!.
    The only ones suffering are the parasites syphoning off the economy.
    This is the corruption being exposed. They sold us off to offshore manufacturing and now they suffer.
    They didn't care about us.
    Bring back Australian made 😊

  7. I hope everyone enjoys a good Speech, and I’m sharing this with positive intentions. Day trading, with proper guidance, is an excellent way to build wealth. Investing is a crucial skill. I’m grateful for the valuable tips and signals from Alison Baird . ❤❤❤
