Markets have regained some footing, but investors remain on high alert as interest rates, oil prices and geopolitical developments continue to shape the outlook. In this week’s episode, Trevor Garvin, Head of Multi-Manager at Nedgroup Investments, explores the key drivers behind recent market performance, from easing Treasury yields and record highs in technology stocks to the impact of global political developments and shifting investor sentiment.

He unpacks the implications of the US Federal Reserve’s latest interest rate increase, the outlook for inflation and markets are closely watching the upcoming South African Reserve Bank decision. The episode also examines the interplay between oil prices, the rand and geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, and what these factors could mean for investors in the months ahead.

Closer to home, Trevor discusses South Africa’s governance and infrastructure challenges, the outlook for the local economy ahead of municipal elections, and the factors influencing the rand and broader market resilience.
