If the ultimate goal of investing is to buy low and sell high, investors will benefit from understanding the economic cycle, and that markets slowing down isn't something to be fearful of but something that happens time and time again. According to Julia Lee, SPDR ETF Equities Strategist APAC, from State Street Global Advisors, investors should use this knowledge to become more confident in their investments and to keep their financial goals for the long term rather than panicking when there is a market slowdown. 

In this episode, Julia and Rory explain the four phases of the economic cycle and then reflect on the current economic environment at a global level and then domestically at what is happening in Australia, what is inflation and why we need to tackle it, and what investors should be thinking about as they look to position their portfolio giving that backdrop.
