In this episode of Bullish Banter, we sit down with Stellar Swakei, an investment and economics analyst at Standard Investment Bank, to explore the current investment landscape in Kenya and beyond. From the interplay between fixed income and equities, to the impact of geopolitics on commodities like crude oil and safe-haven assets such as gold, Stellar breaks down what investors need to know. We also unpack foreign vs local market flows, the rise of new trading initiatives like one-share investing, and why education is critical to avoid turning the stock market into gambling. The conversation dives into Safaricom’s role as a benchmark for the Kenyan economy, the opportunities and risks in real estate, and how global factors like U.S. tech stocks, China’s uncertainty, and Bitcoin’s rise influence portfolio decisions. Whether you’re a retail investor, a market watcher, or simply curious about how to position yourself in today’s volatile environment, this episode offers practical insights and strategies to help you navigate risk and make smarter investment decisions.
