Welcome to the latest edition of our SB Talks podcast, where the experts from Stanford Brown (SB) explore the important elements of your financial world – from investments to strategy, from retirement planning to intergenerational wealth.

In this episode of SB Talks, CEO Vincent O'Neill is joined by Chief Investment Officer Nick Ryder.

They discuss:

• Australian GDP data shows we are in a per capita recession.

• RBA Governor Lowe’s closing remarks highlight the importance of productivity growth.

• Hints that the Bank of Japan may be about to abandon its Negative Interest Rate Policy (NIRP).

• US non-farm payroll data indicate a more balanced labour market.

• Risks of a second wave of inflation driven by rising oil prices, a strong services sector, and increased real spending power as wages rise.
