The winds of change are upon us. The forces currently shaping Australian and global markets feel more whipsaw and shape-shifting than ever before and investors today must contend with a far broader set of variables.

As Livewire’s Chris Conway put it: "When I was coming up, admittedly many moons ago in markets, there was only three things that you needed to pay attention to have a handle on the macro, and that was inflation, interest rates, and growth. Now we have to worry about policy mistakes, housing, AI, deglobalisation and US exceptionalism, to name but a few."

So is it the same game with more moving parts, or is it genuinely more complex? That’s the question we put to our panellists at Livewire Live:

  • Diana Mousina, Deputy Chief Economist at AMP;
  • Damien Boey, portfolio strategist at Wilson Asset Management; and
  • Roy Keenan, co-head of Australian Fixed Income of Yarra Capital.

Please note this panel was filmed 22nd September, one week prior to the RBA's September board meeting announcement.
