About this episode

The episode discusses the decline in Australian consumer and business confidence amid rising oil prices and inflation concerns, featuring an interview with Daniel Hynes on oil supply issues.

Oil prices jump as the Middle East conflict widens to attacks on Saudi Arabian cities. Australian consumer and business confidence slides as inflation concerns grow. And China’s trade surges with rising chip prices. In our deep-dive interview, ANZ’s Senior Commodities Strategist Daniel Hynes details the fallout from extended delays to normalising oil supply from the Persian Gulf.
