I joined Jess McGuire on ABC Radio’s Statewide Drive yesterday on ‘Liberation Day’, to discuss the consequences of Trump’s tariffs on the global economy.

We took a step back in time to explore the similarities between the 1930 Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act and Trump’s newly announced tariffs. Given the striking similarities of these policies, we explored the consequences of the 1930s tariffs and considered the potential parallels for today’s global economy such as slowing global trade, slowing global growth, and the risk of recession. continue…

I recently joined Paul Turton on ABC Newcastle to discuss the five key reasons behind why the price of gold has skyrocketing. The first reason being the volatility seen across the S&P 500, NASDAQ, ASX 200, and the Small Ordinaries Index. Additionally, interest rates in developing countries are declining – meaning investors are turning toward other assets (like gold). Thirdly, I highlight that gold is an inflation hedge, meaning its value tends to increase during periods of rising inflation. Geopolitical tensions across China/U.S. and in the Middle East are also a key reason as to why the price of gold is being driven up. And lastly, investors get a ‘fear of missing out’ and tend to invest in trends.

Yesterday I joined Jess McGuire on ABC Statewide Drive to discuss why private credit is gaining traction as a popular investment option.

Following the Global Financial Crisis (GFC) banks faced increased regulation, making particular loan types less profitable for them. As a result, banks stopped offering these types of loans, creating a gap in the market. The private credit sector has stepped in to fill this void. continue…

I joined Hope Radio to share my top tips for investing success at every stage of life. Risk appetite tends to lessen the older we get. Despite this, a balanced approach to risk versus reward is imperative at any age. The older generation shouldn’t shy away from risk all together but instead assess the potential outcomes carefully to maximise their potential rewards. And younger people can take advantage of the ‘bounce-back’ factor. Meaning they have a longer ‘runway’ and can afford to take more risk before their large financial commitments like starting a family or having a mortgage come along.

I joined Paul Turton on ABC Newcastle radio to discuss the recently announced tariffs and their impact on global markets. The market reacted swiftly, with both the S&P 500 and Nasdaq declining as investors weighed the potential consequences. Many economists believe these tariffs could have negative long-term effects, despite being designed to encourage onshore manufacturing, particularly in the technology sector. However, such policies also carry risks, including escalating trade wars between countries and disruptions to imports and exports, which could have broader economic implications. continue…

Last week, I joined Jess McGuire on ABC Statewide Drive to discuss the current reporting season. Share prices are reacting more sharply to earnings surprises, with around four companies beating estimates for every one that misses. Dividend per share results are also exceeding forecasts at a two-to-one rate, driving company outlook upgrades. Listed companies are gaining market share, with strong performers like the Commonwealth Bank of Australia (ASX:CBA), JB Hi-Fi (ASX:JBH), and REA Group (ASX:REA) standing out. continue…

This week, I joined David Taylor on ABC PM to discuss the Reserve Bank of Australia’s latest rate cut and why bank customers should take action. Many of us are effectively lending money to banks for free, and inertia prevents us from seeking better returns. With no guarantee of further cuts, now is the time to shop around and make our cash work harder. continue…
