Financial quotes for the week

"Markets have short attention spans. You just get the sense that investors are back to focusing on AI / tech / company news, and not macro. After all, the Russia-Ukraine war still rages four years later, but its impact was priced in long ago. It is simply no longer a factor on global markets. Complacency? Or discounting the most likely scenario and moving on?"

Izak Odendaal, chief investment strategist at Old Mutual.

"I see low turnover as the desirable result of a well-run investment process, rather than an end-goal in and of itself."

Matthew Beddall, CEO and portfolio manager at Havelock London.

"While no one enjoys being wrong, mistakes are an inescapable part of investing and forecasting."

Dan Kemp, researcher and founder of Portfolio Thinking.

"A central banker’s job is to take away the punch bowl just as the party gets going."

William McChesney Martin, former Fed Chair.
