The Weekend Edition | 24-25 February 2024

The share market is swinging wildly this reporting season — blue chips are plunging and rebounding, banks are rallying, tech is getting sold off on AI fears, then bouncing back again.

Sean Aylmer speaks with Morningstar equity market strategist Lachlan Halloway about what’s driving the volatility, whether AI is a real threat to listed companies, and why long-term investors might actually benefit from the chaos.

This is general information only. You should seek professional advice tailored to your circumstances before making investment decisions.
