Happy Monday, Light Brigade!
And a big welcome to all of our new members.
Well… I didn’t need to save Chrissy’s life again over the weekend, so I guess that makes it uneventful. Although she did manage to lock herself out on Sunday morning while Fox and I were at breakfast with Hunter, and she didn’t have her phone, and didn’t couldn’t find the spare keys… so she CLIMBED ON THE ROOF AND SHIMMIED THROUGH A THIRD STORY BATHROOM WINDOW. That’s my wife. A 47 year old ninja.
Market This Week (All Ordinaries)
The All Ordinaries fell close to 3% for the week to close at 8,920 points on Friday, its worst five-day run in six months:
- The benchmark index logged its worst week in six months with a 3.0% slide, as surging crude oil prices raised doubts over a quick easing in Australia’s inflation.
- Brent crude futures hit a four-month high of around US$110 a barrel as fresh attacks on key shipping routes and Houthi attacks on Saudi oil facilities raised fears of spreading conflict in the region.
- Australia’s 10-year government bond yield climbed to near its highest level since mid-2011, with RBA Deputy Governor Andrew Hauser saying the central bank will debate the case for higher rates at its September meeting, and Assistant Governor Sarah Hunter warning the RBA has little tolerance for stronger inflation.
- The RBA’s next policy meeting is scheduled for 29 September 2026, with markets currently pricing a 72% implied probability of a 25 basis point hike.
- Losses across the sharemarket were broad, led by healthcare, non-energy minerals, tech, and consumer stocks, with heavyweights BHP down 4.1%, Evolution Mining down 3.8%, and Northern Star Resources down 3.6%, though the big four banks bucked the trend, up between 0.2% and 1.4%.
All the best,
Cameron
