The RBA is set to release its February monetary policy decision on February 18. The market now sees a 90% chance of a 25 basis point rate cut, which would bring the cash rate down from 4.35% to 4.10%. If the RBA cuts rates in February, it would mark the first rate cut since the cash rate was raised to 4.35% in November 2023, and the first in over four years, signaling Australia's official entry into a rate-cutting cycle. RBA rate cu...
Earnings season has a tendency for some volatility. It's a good opportunity to get in lower, then sell higher, or just buy low and sit on it while it grows (hopefully!) An old mantra is buy on the rumour, sell on the news. This is very true when applied to ASX listed stocks, especially in energy and mining. I've said it before and will say it again..... one has to keep a close eye on Joint Ventures (JV's) and Mergers and ...
Australian Real Estate Investment Trusts (A-REITs) offer investors a way to engage in the commercial real estate market without directly holding physical property. These A-REITs own, operate, or finance a range of real estate sectors, generating income as a result. Is it the right time to invest in A-REITs amidst US Federal Reserve rate cuts? To answer this, we need to look at three questions: 1.How is the US Fede...

There is only 1 way the RBA will cut rates in 2025, and that's if the corrupt Albanese government legislated away their independence and stacks the RBA board with union organisers. (this is their current plan to reduce interest rates, since they refuse to cut government spending to lower inflation). The disconnection of interest rates from inflation to trick voters into giving this lunatic another term in office, combined with the absurd spending on "renewables" and "infrastructure" all of which is 100% inflationary (since neither generate any revenue) guarantees that REITs as well as any other deflationary asset (like gold, or Bitcoin) will skyrocket. Since the underlying cause will be hyperinflation in the AUD, holding literally anything that is not denominated in AUD, like US dollars or stocks will also "skyrocket" if viewed through the lens of Australian Dollars. This might sound like a way to get rich while everyone else gets poorer, but it doesn't work like that in Australia. Here, we believe in Survival of the Weakest. A form of anti-evolution. FACT: the average NDIS participant receives "benefits" equivalent to nearly double the average workforce participant's before-tax income. Who's better off working? Not many. DM me for advice on SMSFs and offshore holdings, to limit your exposure to the "Robbin Hood" taxation scheme that's coming out way.
What's happening? Well, three things: Volatility is calming. It's as calm as a cucumber compared to last week (see below). Markets are going back to ‘business as usual.’Markets are holding their breath for Jerome Powell's signal of a Fed rate cut in September at his Jackson Hole address next week, with this week's CPI release not expected to rock the boat. For the most part, it looks like markets...
In Australia, it's the most important week for earnings releases, with proxies and some of our biggest companies reporting this week. So, it could be hugely pivotal for markets and respective sectors, so if we get an earnings beat in Australia's biggest bank, for example, you might expect the entire banking sector and perhaps the market to move higher. The inverse is also possible, wh...
