Laura and Stevie are back to recap the Easter break, and in a word it has been ‘quiet’.  With many markets closed there was a quiet start, but they unpack why that isn’t something to be concerned about.  The RBA minutes lead the conversation today as do interest cuts, and they look into what upcoming data could impact the market.  The sectors get analysed, they look at the winners and losers, and some changes to wine tariffs that could be good news for investors.
