From rising US interest rates to China’s sluggish recovery and shifts in global banking systems, the ripple effects are being felt everywhere — even in your local coffee shop or your superannuation fund.
Three Trends to Watch:
- AI in Finance: Banks and investment firms globally are leveraging artificial intelligence to detect fraud, analyse spending behaviour, and provide predictive investment insights. The trickle-down? Advisors who use these tools can now personalise financial strategies in real time.
- Decentralised Finance (DeFi): While still in its early days, blockchain-based finance models are pushing traditional institutions to be more transparent and efficient.
- Global Economic Interdependence: Supply chain issues, international conflict, and policy shifts now impact local investment markets faster than ever. Understanding this context helps both advisors and clients make smarter, long-term decisions.
Why It Matters
You don’t need to track the Nasdaq daily. But understanding the global picture can help you navigate local choices better — whether you’re refinancing your home loan, deciding when to invest, or rethinking retirement timelines.
