Join InvestSense Director Jonathan Ramsay and Andrew Hunt of Hunt Economics in this podcast as they discuss:

  • Have we seen peak inflation? Supply chain disruption may have actually peaked a few weeks ago?
  • Contrary to expectations Santa may even get a helping hand from Chinese producers ‘dumping’ excess inventory in the run-up to Christmas.
  • Still, much of this will still take months to work through the inflation data. How long can the Fed and other central banks defy the data and markets?
  • Are we seeing the ghost of QE future in Japan right now?
  • Can the RBA really promise no rate rises next year?
  • The Fed and the RBA have both mortgaged their credibility but can they keep up the payments?
