On his recent trip to Australia, Moz Afzal sat down with Martin Crabb, CIO of Shaw and Partners, for a deep dive into the Australian economy and markets. They discuss how the latest Middle East tensions and higher energy prices are feeding into Australian inflation and interest rates, what that means for the Reserve Bank’s hiking path, and the implications for the Aussie dollar and bond markets. They also explore the outlook for the ASX and why Australia’s long-term story of population growth, infrastructure demand and a powerful superannuation system still offers compelling opportunities for investors over the next decade.
