The in-depth conversation includes: • Why the US has an emerging inflation issue that is likely to see multiple interest rate rises over the next 12 months; • How Australia compares to the US on inflation and interest rate expectations; • Why the recent volatility in investment markets, driven by the inflation issue and the US earnings season, is likely to persist; and • Mal’s preferred asset allocation, with caution on growth assets including underweight US equities, but overweight Australian and Emerging Market equities. *** Disclosure: Ord Minnett Limited ABN 86 002 733 048 (Ord Minnett) holds AFS Licence Number 237121 and E.L. & C.
