On this week’s show:

Peter Munckton, Chief Economist, BOQ talks about how the Australian economy was positioned heading into the Middle East crisis, what the RBA is likely to do next on rates, whether higher-for-longer interest rates will finally hit house prices, and where he still sees reasons for optimism in the local economy over the next 12 to 18 months.

Will Riggall, CIO, Bell Financial Group discusses the current macro backdrop and what it means for ASX companies, why a fast resolution to the conflict matters for both markets and Trump, how investors are positioning across asset classes amid geopolitical tension, and the stocks he’s watching most closely, including BHP, Telstra, ALS and Netwealth.

Andrew Dale, Partner at ECP Asset Management, shares his take on whether recent downgrades mark the start of a broader reset in tech valuations, why inflation risks may be building in the back half of the year, and where investors should be looking for opportunities across tech, energy and other parts of the market as volatility rises,

And Paul Rickard of the Switzer Report gives us an incredible insightful look into defensive stocks that won’t leave you holding the bag if the conflict suddenly resolves itself.
