I joined Ausbiz to discuss the 2025 market landscape, exploring themes like whether the return of President Trump is driving market sentiment. I highlighted the disparity between the US’s GDP and its global market capitalisation, attributing it to sentiment around big-cap stocks like the “Magnificent Seven.” I also addressed China’s deflation and its impact on commodities like iron ore. Additionally, I pointed out opportunities in the small-cap space, particularly as Australia faces potential interest rate cuts this year.

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…

Yesterday morning, I joined Paul Turton on ABC Newcastle to discuss U.S. President Trump’s newly imposed tariffs – 25 per cent on Mexico and Canada, 10 per cent on China, and their impact on inflation, interest rates, and global markets. We also covered the emergence of DeepSeek artificial intelligence (AI), Elon Musk’s support for Trump, and what I think it all means for the Australian economy.

For years, we’ve been fed a whimsical story that battery electric vehicles (BEVs) are on an unstoppable march to dominate our roads – spurred on by ambitious government targets, subsidies, that hydrocarbons are evil, and a steady drumbeat of headlines proclaiming that “electric is the future.” Continue…

Last year, the stars were aligned for gains in equities. In 2023, we alerted investors to three key ingredients pointing in the right direction for 2024.
