While many are blaming central bankers for misjudging inflation, rates and economic growth around the world, sharemarkets are hoping that they can engineer a soft landing. So how realistic is the market's current outlook?

Investors Mutual portfolio manager Dan Moore shares his thoughts on:

  • Why rates matter so much for shareholders
  • What needs to happen for analysts to achieve their forecasts
  • Whether  a 2% fall in rates - within 2 years - is unrealistically optimistic and
  • What to do if you believe a miracle isn't on the horizon
