ep 353 | As the conflict continues, is it time to sell stocks?
31/03/2026 | 9 mins.
The last month will have been disconcerting for investors, especially those new to financial markets. Some will be tempted to sell out, cutting their losses in case the conflict escalates and markets fall further. If you're a trader with a time horizon that’s measured in weeks or months, maybe that's the right approach. However, if your foray into share investing is part of a longer-term strategy you've got a more difficult decision to make.
ep 352 | The week ahead - Local business confidence set to slump?
28/03/2026 | 10 mins.
The ongoing conflict in Iran will remain front and centre for investors, while another batch of economic indicators for March are released. The highest profile release will be the US jobs report, while we'll also get the ISM manufacturing index and the Conference Board’s consumer confidence. Here in New Zealand, the ANZ Business Outlook survey for March will be a highlight. A fall in sentiment is expected but it will also be useful to monitor how firms are thinking about the impact on costs and any plans to raise prices in response.
ep 351 | Are we set for early OCR hikes as petrol prices surge?
23/03/2026 | 7 mins.
The conflict between the US and Iran has disrupted one of the world’s most important trade routes, the Strait of Hormuz. The impact of this will feed directly into local inflation, reversing some of our recent progress and reminding households that global events can still hit close to home. How will the Reserve Bank react to this, and are we set for early OCR hikes?
ep 350 | The week ahead - All eyes on the RBNZ Governor
21/03/2026 | 16 mins.
Global flash PMIs for March will be the key global releases this week, as some of the first economic indicators we’ll get that cover the period since the war began. Here In New Zealand, all eyes will be on RBNZ Governor Dr Anna Breman on Tuesday. She is scheduled to give a speech discussing the potential impacts of the conflict on the New Zealand economy.
ep 349 | Should we worry about the election, or get on with it?
17/03/2026 | 8 mins.
With the election less than eight months away now, investors are increasingly starting to think about what it means for the economy, asset prices and their portfolios. The election campaign will no doubt be entertaining, with the usual twists and turns. However, there’s no need for a complete rethink of your investment strategy, nor should we let political uncertainty stop us taking action.
