After a week of buoyant sentiment as economies reopen, equity markets crashed and bond yields retreated as the Fed delivered a sombre assessment of the outlook. Listen to our QPod episode featuring our Chief Economist, Dr Matthew Peter who wades into the debate: Did markets get ahead of themselves or will the enormous weight of fiscal stimulus conquer COVID?

Dr Peter also shares his perspective on:

- Next week’s Australian labour market data

- The future shape of the JobKeeper program
