On this week's Asset Allocator, Simoney Kyriakou is joined by Joe Little, chief strategist at HSBC Asset Management, to discuss the diverging opinion between economists and investors over the repercussions of the Iran conflict and what the closure and blockade of the Strait of Hormuz means for the global economy. Are investors simply ignoring the mood music?
Alongside the Middle East conflict, Little and Kyriakou also discuss the mega trend that is refusing to give up: AI. Many have predicted a fundamental change to the way we live and work, while others say it is the dotcom bubble 2.0 – is the truth somewhere in the middle? Little also lays out what the high gilt yields means for your clients.
