In this quick bite, Infometrics Chief Executive Brad Olsen explains why market reactions in 2025 feel different. Despite wild volatility, geopolitical conflict, and patchy economic data, investors aren’t flinching like they used to.

We explore why dips aren’t sparking panic, how business sentiment in Aotearoa is shifting, and why job ads staying flat could be more telling than official employment figures.

This quick bite is from our previous episode 'Is economic recovery stalling'.
