In this episode of Talking Capital Markets, we unpack how markets are responding as the war in Iran continues to unfold. While economic data has shown tentative signs of resilience, inflationary pressures, rising fuel costs, and shifting capital dynamics are creating a complex backdrop for investors.

Host Daryl is joined by Jason Winfield, Head of Capital Markets, and Chris Robinson, Head of Logistics & Industrial Capital Markets, to discuss sentiment on the ground. Together, they explore liquidity trends, the divergence between core and value-add strategies, the impact of higher debt costs, and why portfolio transactions remain a dominant theme.

The conversation also delves into cross-border capital flows, repricing risk, and why industrial and logistics assets continue to benefit from strong occupational demand driven by e-commerce, defence, and manufacturing.

With development pipelines slowing but investor conviction holding firm in certain segments, the episode offers a grounded outlook on what to expect through the rest of the year and why, despite ongoing geopolitical noise, the market outlook may be more stable than first feared.
