Stocks Shrug Off Iran War, Australia Budget Preview
About this episode
Asian stocks edged up 0.4% to near their record as traders stayed bullish on the AI trade. Meantime, crude oil gained and bonds dropped after President Donald Trump cast doubts over the ceasefire with Iran, prolonging the closure of the Strait of Hormuz and keeping energy prices elevated. We heard from Colin Purdie, Manulife Investment Management Global CIO of Public Markets. He spoke to Bloomberg's Paul Allen and Avril Hong.
Plus - Australian Treasurer Jim Chalmers aims to deliver a budget that tackles inflation, revives productivity and reins in deficits, a tough challenge at a time when fuel prices are soaring. Bloomberg's Paul Allen speaks to ANU Associate Professor Jill Sheppard for a preview.
