    January 24, 2025

    In yesterday’s interview on Statewide Drive with Jess McGuire, I discussed how 2025 is shaping up for investment markets. As we approached the U.S. presidential inauguration, global markets performed strongly, with the S&P 500 up 3 per cent and tech stocks, predominantly led by the ‘Magnificent 7,’ also showing gains. Meanwhile, Chinese markets struggled, down around 3 per cent year-to-date, driven by deflationary pressures impacting consumer spending. continue…

    I sat down with Paul Turton to discuss what’s been happening in investment markets so far this year. They talked about the impact of President Trump’s inauguration on markets and the continued strong performance of the Magnificent 7 Technology stocks.

    David also shared insights into the opportunities for small-cap stocks, which have underperformed large caps by 30 per cent in recent years, and explained why the current economic climate might finally work in their favour. He gave his perspective on interest rate cuts, the cost-of-living pressures affecting Australians and businesses.

    It’s a great conversation if you are keen to hear about what’s been shaping markets in 2025. You can listen to my segment from the 31:40-minute mark here: ABC Newcastle – How is 2025 shaping up for investment markets?

    December 19, 2024

    This week, I had the pleasure of joining Phil Clarke on ABC Nightlife to reflect on the surprising performance of the share market in 2024 and to discuss my outlook for 2025. At the start of the year, many investors and advisers anticipated modest returns following a strong 2023. However, the market defied expectations, delivering even greater gains despite being described by some experts as a “melt-up.” During the episode, I shared insights into why I believe markets may not be as overvalued as they appear, along with what else is on the horizon.

    Last night on ABC Nightlife, I joined Philip Clark to discuss the challenges of predicting market turning points. We also explored the concerning state of China’s economy, where plummeting property prices and Xi Jinping’s attempts to shift towards a consumption-driven model akin to those of Australia, the U.S. and Europe could have significant impacts on Australia due to our strong trade ties. Lastly, we touched on Australia’s housing market, where both property prices and rents have surged dramatically since the COVID-19 pandemic.

    ABC Newcastle Mornings – September 2024

    Roger Montgomery
    October 1, 2024

    In this morning’s interview with Paul Turton on ABC Newcastle Radio, the discussion highlighted concerns about the treatment of suppliers by major supermarkets. The Australian Competition & Consumer Commission (ACCC) is currently pursuing legal action against these supermarkets, accusing them of inflating prices while presenting them as “discounts.” Despite these allegations, the duopolistic structure of the supermarket industry makes it unlikely that consumers will significantly alter their shopping habits.

    ABC Newcastle Mornings

    September 25, 2024

    In this week’s interview with Paul Turton on ABC Newcastle radio, I discussed how central banks are carefully steering economies towards a soft landing. The reporting season revealed that some retailers, like Harvey Norman (ASX: HVN), are losing market share to better-performing competitors. Meanwhile, businesses such as Cash Converters (ASX: CCV) are seeing revenue growth as more individuals pawn items to manage the rising cost of living. Traditional banks, constrained by tighter post-GFC lending restrictions, face challenges in addressing the $400 billion funding gap for small and medium-sized businesses, driving growth in private credit.

    ABC Statewide Drive – Money matters

    September 25, 2024

    In my recent conversation with James Findlay on Statewide Drive, I discussed several key trends in the current economic landscape. Since June, major lenders and banks have only reported a modest increase in mortgage defaults and house repossessions, while vehicle defaults remain under 1 per cent. However, ASIC data shows that Australia is on track to record the highest number of business collapses in a decade, particularly in the building and food service industries, reflecting a pullback in discretionary spending.
