Iran investor update: A vital peace deadline looms, putting markets on edge

Markets edged higher last week on fleeting hopes of de-escalation, but the Iran conflict is entering a new phase. With the US' imposed deadline for a peace deal approaching and retaliation risks rising, the threat to global energy supply remains front of mind. In this week’s Bassanese Bites Podcast, David Bassanese breaks down the risks around the Strait of Hormuz, why energy infrastructure is now in focus, and how a renewed oil shock could quickly shift the outlook for inflation and growth. He also discusses the resilience of the US economy and what recent Australian data signals for the RBA.
