Shane breaks down how the impact of headline inflation jumping to 4.6 per cent over the year to March, largely driven by a surge in fuel prices linked to the US–Iran conflict, and the likelihood that the RBA moves to hike rates at its May meeting.

Tune in to hear:

  • Whether the RBA is better off acting now, or if the prior hikes could cause a pause.
  • How the ongoing US-Iran war and its shifting ceasefire deadlines is feeding into further inflation.
  • The impact of the AI boom and US tech giants powering US profit growth on markets.
