The conflicts shaking markets

The world economy is being pulled in several directions at once.The war between the US and Iran has flared again, while fears are growing about what a wider escalation in Russia’s war on Ukraine could mean for energy, trade and global markets.In this special episode of ABC Business Daily, Carrington Clarke is joined by Madison Cartwright, a geopolitical and geo-economic analyst who’s now at Commonwealth Bank, to unpack what he is watching - and what it could mean for Australia.And amid all of that, there’s a fresh read on the Australian economy, with new GDP figures showing how growth is tracking and adding another piece to the puzzle ahead of the RBA’s next interest rate decision.Catch up on the political impacts of the GPD result on our sister podcast, Politics Now, here.Got a burning business question?We'd love to hear your questions!
