While investors are constantly buffeted by economic events and trends that are beyond their control, hosts Phil Tarrant and Scott O’Neill say there are ways to react to them strategically.

On the latest episode of Inside Commercial Property with Rethink Investing, the duo dissects the latest inflation data and talks about how it could set off a chain reaction in the economy and the financial sector. They also give advice on how to use these ripple effects to work in one’s portfolio’s favour.

Phil and Scott also emphasise how economic factors are closely linked with the trends in the commercial property space and call on investors to reframe their mindset (as well as investment strategy) when examining the data points.
