Markets are facing a long list of challenges, from stubborn inflation and the prospect of another interest rate hike, to geopolitical tensions and a reporting season that could trigger big share price moves.

Sean Aylmer speaks with Dr Shane Oliver, Chief Economist and Head of Investment Strategy at AMP, about where the ASX sits heading into earnings season, why investors should expect more volatility, whether higher capital gains tax will change investment behaviour, and why another Reserve Bank rate hike remains a real possibility.
