So what does it all really mean? Singapore-based independent oil expert Vandana Hari joins the podcast to discuss:

• Why the disconnect between paper and physical oil is unprecedented
• How that will play into actual prices paid by end users

ASX winners and losers, and what war in Iran means for investors

February reporting season generated unprecedented volatility, offering opportunities and risks for investors. But does any of it matter when geopolitical risks threaten global markets like they have this week?

Atlas Funds Management’s Hugh Dive joins the podcast to discuss:

• The standout performers from reporting season
• Three stocks that have fallen hard - but may keep falling

Opportunities under the surface – what stocks to watch in this market

While the ASX looks to be performing solidly in 2026, there is a lot going on below the surface. Strength in materials and financials has masked double digit declines in tech and healthcare, throwing up risk and opportunity for investors.

Long time stock picker Henry Jennings of Marcus Today joins the podcast to discuss:

• Why the ‘killing season’ is in full swing, and who’s suffering
• How the ‘big bifurcation’ creates opportunity
• Which stocks are winning as Australia becomes the world’s third largest data centre market and
• What to avoid when the siren call of a sell off sings to you.

Gold, AUD and the dollar debasement trade – is the era of USD dominance really over?

While the US dollar has been under pressure, gold has soared to record highs, and pundits are thinking about a world order that is no longer US centric. So how likely is this scenario, and what does it mean for investors?

Nab’s Head of FX Strategy, Ray Attrill, joins the podcast to discuss:

• Why de-dollarisation is just noise in the short term, BUT
• What the extraordinary appetite for gold may be telling us
• The implications of new Fed Chair Kevin Warsh, and
• The key conditions that would see a dramatic change in financial outlook for the dollar, commodities and more.

• Why he hates inspo without strategy
• The set of principles he uses to help investors keep themselves on track and in the game
• What he’s learned from decades of working with direct investors, and
• Why the person who’s supposed to be passive is you.
