Monday Market Highlights: 15 April 2024

In this week’s Monday Market Highlights, Investment Analyst Roland Houghton discusses inflation data out of the US. It’s the third month in a row that inflation has topped economists’ anticipation, and the 10-year government bond rate increased as inflation fears and less rate cuts were priced in. Roland also covers PPI data, Europe’s ECB rates, tensions in the Middle East, and the London Metal Exchange banning Russian copper, aluminium and nickel to align with US and UK sanctions. In equity news, Roland looks into NEXTDC, Ansell, Netwealth, Heartland Bank, and Qantas.   This podcast is intended to provide general information only.
