3 SEP 2024 · This past week saw a mix of economic data and corporate earnings that drove market sentiment.
In brief:
Mixed Results from Australia's August Earnings Season: While the banking sector showed strong performance despite some scepticism about valuations, mining and energy companies faced significant challenges. Meanwhile, consumer spending remained robust in some areas, but there were signs of caution in the services sector, highlighting the uneven economic landscape.
Nvidia's Earnings Disappoint Despite Strong Results: Nvidia's earnings report, one of the most anticipated this season, exceeded expectations by doubling sales and earnings from a year ago. However, the stock still saw a sell-off, reflecting investor concerns about the sustainability of AI infrastructure spending.Â
Global Economic Signals and the Upcoming August Jobs Report: With signs of both resilience and slowdown in global markets, all eyes are on this Friday's August jobs report. It could be pivotal in determining the Federal Reserve's policy direction and the market's trajectory for the rest of the year. Investors are hoping for a "Goldilocks" reading that indicates a gradual labour market slowdown without signalling an imminent downturn.

28 AUG 2024 · Financial Markets Grapple with Implications of Fed's Shift in SignalsLast week saw financial markets grapple with the implications of Fed Chair Jerome Powell's speech at the Jackson Hole symposium. In brief:
Â
Federal Reserve Signals Rate Cuts: Fed Chair Jerome Powell stated "the time has come for policy to adjust," indicating the Fed is prepared to begin cutting interest rates. This dovish shift sparked a rally in equities and a decline in bond yields on Friday.
Mixed Economic Data: U.S. durable goods orders rebounded strongly in July, up 9.9% month-on-month, but this was largely due to volatile aircraft orders. Core capital goods shipments, a key indicator of business investment, fell 0.4%, suggesting potential weakness in Q3 GDP.
Global Growth Concerns: The German Ifo business climate index fell to 86.6 in August, with the current conditions reading at its weakest level since August 2020, highlighting ongoing concerns about European economic growth.

21 AUG 2024 · In brief:Â
Strong Global Equity Performance: Global equity markets posted their best performance in nine months, driven by hopes of rate cuts from the Federal Reserve and encouraging economic reports such as lower-than-expected inflation and strong retail sales.
Fed Rate Cut Expectations: Recent economic data has caused investors to reconsider the likelihood of a 50bps cut at the Fed's next meeting in September. While a 25bps reduction remains highly likely, the probability of a larger cut has decreased from 50% to approximately 25% over the past week.
Australian Corporate Earnings Overview: The Australian reporting season has provided mixed insights into the economic landscape, with a balanced number of companies exceeding, meeting, or falling short of modest expectations. Notably, AMP and Telstra Group exceeded expectations while Suncorp Group fell short, highlighting ongoing challenges within its operations.

14 AUG 2024 · The past week in markets was significantly calmer, with the S&P 500 reporting a 10.8% year-over-year earnings growth—its highest since Q4 2021—the focus now shifts to the Australian reporting season.
In brief:Â
US Earnings Performance: The S&P 500's year-over-year earnings growth was driven by strong results in the Utilities and Information Technology sectors, highlighting corporate strength despite high interest rates and political challenges.
Â
Inflation Trends and Federal Reserve Actions: Recent US Producer Price Index (PPI) data came in below expectations, strengthening the case for the Federal Reserve to consider rate cuts as early as September. This anticipation builds as markets await the upcoming US Consumer Price Index (CPI) release, which will play a critical role in shaping the Fed's rate path in the face of fluctuating economic signals.
Australian Market Outlook: The onset of Australia's earnings season reveals a modest decline in profits among the top 200 listed companies, with an expected drop of 2-3% for the 2023-24 financial year. This downturn marks the end of unusually high profits seen during the pandemic. Current economic pressures are particularly evident in retail, with companies like JB Hi-Fi and Myer revealing the impacts of constrained consumer spending.

In brief:
- Surprise Interest Rate Rise: The Bank of Japan started raising rates in an unexpected move after keeping them very low for a long time
- Weak Jobs Report: An unexpected US jobs report on Friday triggered the ‘Sahm Rule’ rule, seen as an indicator of potential recession when the unemployment rate rises >0.5% in a 3-month period
- Equity markets reacted negatively: On Monday, markets plunged, especially in Japan which at one point was down 20% in local currency terms, in what appeared to be an unwind of the yen carry trade.
