Relative Return Insider: US shares rebound, CPI spikes and super investment
In this episode of Relative Return Insider, host Keith Ford and AMP chief economist Shane Oliver discuss the latest shock consumer price index numbers, which rose to 3.8 per cent in October, as well as the shifting US market and calls for super funds to invest in infrastructure projects.

Listen as they explore:
- Why hotter-than-expected CPI figures have all but ruled out a near-term RBA rate cut.
- What APRA’s cap on high debt-to-income lending signals for investor activity.
- The growing interest in tapping super funds for infrastructure investment.
