Weekly Wrap 20 March

Bell Direct
March 20, 2026

While global markets remain focused on the latest central bank moves, rising energy prices and geopolitical shifts are adding a new layer of complexity to the inflation outlook. This week, Sophia Mavridis is joined by Bell Financial Group’s CIO Will Riggall to discuss his approach to navigating this climate, focusing on how these macro pressures translate into real-world economic impacts and corporate performance.

In this week’s video, Sophia and Will cover:

  • why a shift in geopolitical strategy is keeping upward pressure on Brent crude and global inflation
  • a look at the RBA’s recent hike and why the path toward lower rates is becoming more complicated
  • what the leadership transitions at BHP (ASX:BHP) and Woodside (ASX:WDS) mean for their futures.
