About this episode

Chris Holdsworth discusses the market's failure to price in stagflation despite an oil shock.

Ordinarily, you’d expect an oil shock to lead to not only higher inflation, but also weaker equities and a lower growth outlook. However, markets aren’t pricing in a stagflationary outcome. Chris Holdsworth, Chief Investment Strategist, at Investec Wealth & Investment International, examines this apparent anomaly. Investec Focus Radio SA
