Podcast: Two-speed America: fiscal tailwinds, AI boom and market implications


The US economy remains remarkably strong — but beneath the surface, a two-speed story is emerging. In this episode, Alison Savas is joined by Portfolio Manager Vihari Ross to unpack what’s driving US resilience, from fiscal scaffolding supporting consumption to the AI investment boom reshaping corporate earnings.

They also discuss where Antipodes is finding value in today’s market.
