During unpredictable periods of market volatility, it can be a wise decision to have ASX dividend shares in your portfolio.
This can help provide a steady income stream even if share price movements are all over the place.
Stock market investors will be anxiously following Australian tariff news in the coming weeks ahead of the August 1 deadline.
Right now it seems that Australia will pay the 10% baseline tariff from next month.
However we all remember the 'Liberation Day' stock market crash in April on the back of the US President's initial tariff announcement.
Despite the quick bounce back for global markets, the wounds may still be fresh for some.
If that's the case, and investors are anticipating more volatility following August 1, here are some ASX dividend shares offering strong yields and passive income.
