Evan Lucas joins the podcast to discuss:

  • why the rate cutting cycle doesn’t predict higher share prices
  • how central banks are challenged by inflation and unemployment
  • which data points are really relevant right now and
  • what an investor can do to benefit from the potential challenges ahead.
