We saw another week of major moves on the market last week, as continuing volatility in oil prices and the RBA’s 25 basis point rate increase dominated the headlines. Today, Sophia Mavridis was joined by Bell Financial Group’s CIO Will Riggall to unpack how investors reacted to the rate increase, which sectors have been over and underperforming lately, and where Bell Potter’s analysts see opportunities in the current market landscape.

In this video, Sophia and Will cover:

  • the macroeconomic factors impacting domestic and international markets last week
  • the RBA’s rate increase and how the ASX responded
  • the best and worst performing sectors recently
  • ongoing oil price volatility and how the Australian economy has bounced back
  • Bell Potter’s stocks to watch and analyst ratings
