Yesterday, I appeared on The Business – ABC Television News to discuss Trump’s newly imposed tariffs. Taking effect on ‘Liberation Day’, these tariffs have already sent ripples through global markets. Australia, along with the UK, Singapore and Brazil were all slapped with a 10 per cent tariff.

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.

I recently joined Paul Turton on ABC Newcastle to discuss the five key reasons behind why the price of gold has skyrocketing.

I joined Sean Aylmer on the Fear and Greed podcast to explore what happens when companies are taken over. We discussed James Hardie’s planned merger with U.S. giant AZEK – a deal that will shift the company’s primary listing to Wall Street, with a secondary listing on the ASX. Meanwhile, Australian investors are increasingly buying U.S. shares. So, is the local stock exchange at risk? Should the ASX be concerned?

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…
