Soft landing – could we really pull it off, and what does it mean for markets?

Markets and central banks appear increasingly hopeful that the ideal scenario – a soft landing- could be incoming, with inflation moderating, employment strong and economic growth slowing but still positive. But how great is the risk that we fall short?

Anthony Doyle from Firetrail joins the podcast to discuss:

  • How confident central banks remain in their actions to date
  • What a soft landing means for markets and the economy
  • The steps that central banks are taking to keep their plan on track, and 
  • How to prepare for any eventuality, as an investor.
