Geopolitics, commodity shocks, and the relentless march of AI collide to create the most unpredictable market backdrop in recent memory. Robert Peston and a panel of experts dissect the hard-to-call outlook for oil and its inflationary ripples while exploring why private credit’s pain signals a much wider asset allocation rethink. They evaluate whether the US dollar’s ‘exorbitant privilege’ still holds in a new age of risk and identify how AI shakes up the winners and losers across credit and equity markets.
