In this episode 45 of Trading Matters by OCBC Securities, we have Aaron Chwee, Head of Wealth Advisory, OCBC Bank, Samuel Wong, Trading Strategist, OCBC Securities, and Elliott Danker, Senior Producer Presenter, MoneyFM 89.3 dive into topics surrounding the US debt ceiling and the layover effects of the US debt ceiling on market uncertainty, trading flows and financial markets around the world.

How can investors mitigate the risks and position themselves strategically?
