Geopolitical shocks signal V-shaped rebound; inflation risks rise; stay invested to avoid missing market recovery gains.
David Leon joined ausbiz to discuss the market rally and highlight why inflation remains a key risk for investor portfolios. While markets have recovered strongly, he notes that several underlying pressures have not disappeared, including rising fertiliser costs, renewed food inflation, rapidly shifting inflation expectations and the potential flow-on impact to housing. These factors could make inflation more persistent than markets expect and may limit how much support investors can rely on from future rate cuts.
