Markets hate uncertainty. That's the first rule of Investing 101. Events in the US, both economic news related and Trump & Musk ("T&M") related, continue to ratchet up uncertainty over both US and global economic growth. This is translating into lower stock prices, and increasing pain and...

Evening Wrap: ASX 200 dips as iron ore stocks FMG, CIA and RIO tumble, banks and Woodside bounce

A rally in major banking stocks, plus a tidy post-rating upgrade gain for Woodside Energy (WDS) helped the ASX 200 avoid a much bigger loss as indicated by the opening decline. Elsewhere, continued simmering global growth concerns weighed on commodities prices, and therefore on stocks in the...

Evening Wrap: ASX 200 edges higher on strong results from Coles Group, Qantas Airways, Appen plunge continues

Only an incy wincy gain today compared to recent losses. Clearly we're not out of the woods, but today's market breadth was encouraging, as was the fact that most of the major ASX sector indices finished higher. Of particular note was strong performances in blue chips Coles Group (COL) (+3.5%)...

Evening Wrap: Trumped! ASX 200 tumbles on spiraling fears over global economic growth

Macro themes (like Trump's 10% China tariff, the rout in US tech stocks overnight, and generally weaker precious and base metals prices) explained the declines in the first two, but it was generally the typical exploding of stock prices post earnings results – a hallmark of this earnings season...

Traders are bracing for a volatile week, with fresh U.S. tariffs set to take effect on Tuesday. The new measures include a 25% levy on imports from Canada and Mexico and a 10% tariff on Chinese goods, escalating trade tensions. Efforts to prevent these tariffs continue, with Mexico proposing reciprocal duties on U.S. imports from China, but traders remain cautious about their potential economic impact.

The tariff announcements have strengthened the US dollar, causing the Australian dollar to briefly dip below US62¢ over the weekend.

Bitcoin surged back above US$90,000 after President Donald Trump announced that his administration’s plan to establish a crypto strategic reserve was gaining momentum.

Investors will closely watch this week’s National People’s Congress in China, where officials may announce fresh stimulus measures to counteract economic slowdowns and trade pressures. Any indication of increased government support for infrastructure or manufacturing could boost commodity markets, particularly for Australian exporters.
