The Winning and Losing Sectors Within the Australian Economy

Australia’s GDP rose 0.3% in the March quarter and 2.5% over the year. While that’s not recessionary, it’s hardly exuberant and was once again negative in per capita terms. The main headwinds are subdued household and government consumption, while adverse weather hampered mining production and exports. On a more positive note, there’s been a lift in business investment linked to data centre machinery and equipment.

What the SpaceX IPO Says About Investor Risk Appetite

The SpaceX IPO may go down as one of the defining market events of the decade. Not simply because of its size, or its role in catapulting Elon Musk into the world’s first trillionaire. And not even because it’s trading at a somewhat shocking 2026 EV/EBITDA ratio of 222x.

Is it Time to Worry Like Ray Dalio?

Ray Dalio has spent much of the past decade warning that investors are misreading reality. Markets, he argues, are telling one story in nominal terms and a very different one in real money terms. Asset prices may be rising, portfolios may look healthy, and indices may be hitting new highs, but measured against the true store of value, purchasing power, many investors are quietly going backwards.

Could 1929 Repeat as Per the New York Times Warning?

The U.S. vs the Rest of the World

For more than a decade, it’s rarely been wrong to be long U.S. equities. The numbers are hard to argue with: the MSCI USA index has outperformed the MSCI World index by almost 50% over the past ten years. The longer term data is even more stark: U.S. stocks have risen from 30% of the MSCI World Index in the 1990s to 75% today. For all intents and purposes, U.S. stocks now dominate global equities.

The Innovation Game: China vs the U.S.

It’s hardly a secret that the countries who win the technology war will dominate the global economy. The US economy is living proof that technology leadership is the route toward economic dominance. But they are not the only superpower with the ambition of technology-led global domination. China is also aiming for technology leadership in the same market segments, such as artificial intelligence, robotics, electric vehicles, and semiconductors.

Asset Allocation Secrets: How to Solve a Problem Like China

When Beijing throttled exports of rare-earth magnets in April 2025, carmakers from Detroit to Wolfsburg panicked. Production lines halted. Procurement experts scrambled for stock. What looked like a trade tiff was, in fact, the visible edge of a very deliberate strategy, one that has been unfolding quietly for nearly a decade.

Riding the Liquidity Wave Without Wiping Out

If you’ve noticed a change in the way markets have been functioning in recent years, you’re not wrong. The exponential growth of U.S. money supply, fuelled by decades of deregulation, cheap debt, and increasingly aggressive central bank stimulus has arguably changed the very nature of investing.

In this economic update from the Chief Economist at Suncorp Group, Paul Brennan covers: - History suggests a US soft landing will be hard to achieve, even with the Fed starting to ease this month. - Markets are not priced for a recession, even a mild one would likely see a material correction in share prices and other risk assets. - The Chinese economy is too weak to offset the effects of a US recession. - Australia faces a challenging 18 months, even if it avoids a recession, as inflation is limiting the RBA’s degrees of freedom and China isn’t coming to the rescue
