QAV Light Weekly Update — 27 April 2026

And a big wel­come to all of our new mem­bers.

Market This Week (All Ordinaries)

Mar­kets had a pret­ty ordi­nary week, drop­ping about 1.8% as we can see from that steady down­ward slide.

“A hor­ror week in defen­sive stocks and a fresh round of arti­fi­cial intel­li­gence jit­ters in the tech­nol­o­gy sec­tor dragged the local bourse down as the war in the Mid­dle East con­tin­ues to foment uncer­tain­ty among investors.” (AFR)

Let’s see what’s what.

All the best,
Cameron
