Episode #148: Why more isn't always better than less

The latest inflation data is in and we're finally back on target. Markets are up by over 10% now that the reciprocal tariffs have been pushed out by 90 days, but there's still a long way to go. On the pod this week, Shane and Diana unpack the latest March quarter headline inflation data, look at the election promises made ahead of the Federal Election in Australia, as well as how a Trump administration is acting under pressure, and the consequences for consumer confidence, GDP figures and the labour market.Important information: This podcast is general in nature and hasn’t taken your circumstances into account.
