Relative Return Unplugged: What impact will the US election have for Australia?
In this episode of Relative Return Unplugged, host Maja Garaca Djurdjevic, along with Momentum Media political commentator Liam Garman and special guest Shane Oliver, chief economist at AMP, dive into the looming US election and what it means for Australia’s economy.
With less than two weeks until Americans head to the polls, the race between the candidates is tightening, particularly in crucial swing states. The stakes are high, not just for the US, but for global allies like Australia, which is keenly aware of how different policies might impact international economic relations.
We take a look at the economic policies of the candidates, including Trump’s focus on lower corporate taxes and higher tariffs, compared with Harris's emphasis on taxing the wealthy to fund social programs.
Tune in to hear:
- Whether the election’s outcome will have as significant implications for markets and economic policy as many believe.
- Why there are concerns about the US’ growing budget deficit.
- How Australia’s alignment with US policies could complicate its relationship with China.
