Welcome to the one hundred seventy fifth episode of the #ExpatChat podcast - Managing Your Money During Turbulent Times. Atlas Wealth Managing Directors, James Ridley and Brett Evans discuss investing during uncertain environments, highlighting how interest rates are driving currency movements. In particular the strength of the Australian dollar. With the AUD trading around 72 cents against the USD and reaching highs against the Japanese yen, they unpack what this means for expats earning, investing, and transferring money globally.
The episode also examines the resilience of the S&P 500, driven by its strong exposure to tech and AI companies, helping it withstand broader shocks such as rising oil prices impacting other markets. Finally, Brett and James look ahead to key developments, including the upcoming Australian Federal Budget and potential tax reforms. They also remind listeners of upcoming events in May i.e. Cross-Border Retirement in Geneva and Zurich, and the Australian Federal Budget Review in Dubai and Abu Dhabi.
Overall, this episode offers practical insights to help expats stay confident and make informed financial decisions in uncertain times.
