What does Mark McCrindle know about 2050 that the rest of us don’t? The futurist and social researcher explains our changing world, and what’s next for our family units, working lives, social norms, and wealth. Mark outlines emerging trends around AI pessimism and screentime backlash, and the skills we’ll need in the decades to come. We explore how house prices have under-35s looking for assets beyond property, and why that carries real long-term risk. Hear how parents and grandparents are "giving with warm hands," passing on their wealth within their lifetimes, and how multigenerational households are losing their stigma. And how Gen X has become the "sandwich generation," absorbing costs from aging parents and adult children. Plus, why the next global challenge won't be overpopulation, but the opposite: a shrinking world.

Host Mandy Drury speaks with CommBank Head of Market Strategy & Rates Research Adam Donaldson about the long-term forces reshaping interest rates.

SHARESIES · MARKET MOVEMENTS · 8 JULY 2026 Jordan Cunningham, Sharesies Head of Data & Analytics Note: Filmed Tuesday 7 July. ↑ WHAT'S UP — Markets rallied. The Dow gained 2%, the S&P 500 rose 1.8%, the Nasdaq climbed 2.1%, and the ASX 200 finished up 0.9%, helped by its strongest trading session in three weeks. ↓ WHAT'S DOWN — Semiconductor stocks lagged despite the broader tech rebound, with the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index falling 4.4%. Reports that Meta could sell excess AI computing capacity reignited questions about whether the industry has built too much infrastructure. ! BIGGEST SURPRISES — US nonfarm payrolls increased by just 57,000 in June, well below expectations. Markets responded by sharply reducing the odds of another Fed rate hike, while falling oil prices continued to ease inflation concerns. Despite that, US Treasury yields finished the week slightly higher. ◎ WHAT TO WATCH — The Reserve Bank of New Zealand delivers its OCR decision this week, while the US releases FOMC meeting minutes and Q2 earnings season gets underway. ◈ BIGGER PICTURE — Investors are increasingly pricing in a world where inflation pressures continue to ease. Falling oil prices, a cooling US labour market and shifting central bank expectations have helped support equities, but the next test comes as companies begin reporting earnings and central banks reveal whether they're ready to change course.

In this episode of Unpacking Money, Scott Malcolm and co-host Ara Jansen use the start of the new financial year as a practical reset point for your money life. Rather than treating 1 July as just a tax year, they unpack how to review what changed over the past year, reconnect your financial choices with your values, and create a simple framework for better money decisions in the year ahead. You’ll hear how to build a one-page money framework, use a values filter before making financial decisions, identify the habits that helped or held you back, and choose one practical action that can make your financial year feel calmer and clearer. This conversation is for anyone who starts the financial year with good intentions but wants a plan that actually sticks — one that supports security, freedom, family, contribution, adventure, or whatever matters most to you.

Der er et sted i verden, hvor de selvfølgeligligheder, som vi kender her hos os, ikke findes. Hvor en mors kærlighed til sin lille søn følges ad med de traumer, hun fik da han blev skabt, og med frygten for hvilke rædsler, der venter ham i den verden, han skal vokse op i. Politikens journalist Bo Søndergaard og fotograf Mads Nissen er blandt de få, der har fået lov til at rejse ind i det krigshærgede Sudan, hvor millioner er på flugt. Og i en flygtningelejr ude midt i ørkenen mødte de Daralnaeem. Man skulle måske tro, at hendes historie er ekstraordinær, men i teltene omkring hende fortæller kvinderne historier, der ligner den til forveksling. Og selvom Daralnaeem næsten ikke har kræfterne til det, vil hun gerne fortælle, fordi verden skal kende til det helvede på jord, der udspiller sig i Sudan. Og høre om, hvad krig kan gøre ved mennesker. Vært: Kathrine Rossau Producer: Jonas Schrøder Andreasen Redaktør: Nina Kragh Har du fået downloadet vores nye app Politiken Lyd?

Is a hike really the right move for the Reserve Bank? Kiwibank Chief Economist Jarrod Kerr, the lone voice calling for rate cuts last year, wants the cash rate to hold fast. Jarrod explains why he thinks the latest inflation spike is a reactive blip, and why the new Governor of the RBNZ may be under pressure to hike anyway. What’s the influence of the US Federal Reserve and other big central banks? What’s a weak Kiwi dollar doing for exporters, and how are election-year nerves affecting business decisions? Plus, how rising house prices made New Zealanders feel richer and spend more, and how flat property forecasts change how we see our wealth.
