Image source: Getty Images Over the last month, the stock market’s experienced a major pullback. Due to uncertainty over the impact of tariffs, the FTSE 100 index has fallen about 8% from its highs while America’s S&P 500 has dropped about 12%. Now, for those with a long-term mindset, this weakness could be a major opportunity. By making a few moves in an ISA now, while shares prices are low, investors could potentially set themselves up for solid gains in the long run.

Image source: Getty Images Tariff uncertainty has led to significant market volatility. As a result, a lot of major indexes are in negative territory year to date. Not all stocks have taken a hit though. While the FTSE 100 index is down in 2025, this Footsie stock is up about 14%. The stock in focus is property search company Rightmove (LSE: RMV). It’s one of the FTSE 100’s smaller companies, with a market-cap of just £5.7bn. A few weeks ago, I said that this was one of the safest UK dividend stocks to consider buying in the current environment. That…

Image source: Olaf Kraak via Shell plc Oil stocks have been one of the biggest casualties of the tariff-induced sell-off over the past couple of weeks. But with a recent pivot away from renewables, the Shell (LSE: SHEL) share price could be set to push higher in the years ahead. Oil price slump This month’s collapse in the price of Brent Crude to four-year lows has clobbered Shell. It also starkly highlights how the company’s fortunes are tied to the price of an asset over which it has no control. This may be so, but is this really a valid…

Image source: Getty Images As financial markets remain turbulent, savvy investors are hunting for opportunities in the chaos. I have quite an extensive watchlist entitled ‘Trump Sell-off’, but today I’m focusing on three US stocks that are trading near their 52-week lows. The three stocks are Nu Holdings (NYSE:NU), RH (NYSE:RH), and Carnival (LSE:CCL) (yes, Carnival is a UK stock but it has a primary listing in the US). Anyway, they’ve all been heavily impacted by global economic uncertainty and policies under US President Donald Trump. Despite these challenges, they boast strong fundamentals. However, the market is choppy. A lot…

Image source: Getty Images I am a big fan of passive income for two key reasons. First, it can generate life-changing flows of money that make everyday life better and can enable early retirement. And second, it involves minimal regular effort – just choosing the right stocks in the first place and monitoring their progress. A 7%+ yield requirement One of three key qualities in my passive income stocks is a high dividend yield. This can change when a firm’s share price and/or annual dividend alters. Nevertheless, I want a yield of over 7% at the point of selecting a…

Image source: Getty Images The International Consolidated Airlines Group (LSE: IAG) share price has flown into the heart of the storm unleashed by Donald Trump’s trade tariffs. Despite jumping nearly 5% on Thursday, IAG shares are still down a painful 20% in the past month. For long-term holders, it’s been a wild ride. The share price doubled last year, but that impressive 12-month return has now slipped to 40%. And with all the uncertainty, investors still risk a rough landing. IAG got a real lift last year thanks to its hefty exposure to the transatlantic travel market via its British Airways…

Image source: Getty Images President Trump’s sweeping tariffs have significantly disrupted global markets in 2025, with his universal 10% baseline and sector-specific duties as high as 25% on steel and aluminium sending shock waves through economies worldwide. UK stocks have dived, with the FTSE 100 entering correction territory. While I’m extremely cautious, there’s some evidence the correction appears increasingly overdone. While UK exports to the US represent 2.2% of our GDP, our post-Brexit regulatory flexibility positions the UK uniquely compared to EU counterparts. What’s more, analysis from Aston University suggests that UK exports to the US could surge by 17.5% through…
