Dow Jones on winning streak
Commentary & Opinion, Economic Market
The market is awash with talk this week of the 12th consecutive rise of the Dow Jones Industrial Average. The last time the bellwether indices of US equities had a longer "winning streak" was in 1987.
But it’s not just the DJIA that’s powering ahead. Global equity markets are also posting record highs. Bulls have taken heart from promises made by US President Donald Trump regarding fiscal stimulus, infrastructure spending and deregulation.
Earnings growth: good, not great
In this week's video insight, Russell Muldoon looks at the reasons behind the market's recent rise in earnings growth, and what it might mean for your investment portfolio.
ECB unsettles markets
Commentary & Opinion, Economic Market
The European Central Bank sent waves through markets last week when it delivered a package of measures that exceeded expectations. Most notably the bigger-than-expected boost to monthly bond purchases. Calmer conditions did, however, return to markets and global stocks continued to rally.
Unfortunately, the ECB President reinforced the view that the ECB is running out of ammunition. He suggested that interest rates have reached a bottom. It has become abundantly clear in recent years that monetary policy alone cannot address all of Europe’s problems.
Equities rebound as Fed holds fire
Commentary & Opinion, Economic Market
Last week was strong for global equities, with the US Federal Reserve retaining its cautious stance on raising interest rates and the Bank of Japan unveiling tweaks to its own monetary policy.
Gains on Wall Street followed the latest meeting of the US Federal Reserve, at which the central bank decided yet again to leave borrowing costs unchanged.
Expectations for rate increases next year were also scaled back, with the US Federal Reserve deciding to remove one planned rate hike from next year. The US dollar weakened in response, although no one is expecting a more material decline in the currency in the near term.
Another currency riding a wave of volatility was the Japanese Yen after the Bank of Japan announced a new strategy to steepen the yield curve via designated purchases of Japanese government bonds.
Equities: Where to next?

Equity markets’ zombie dance
Commentary & Opinion, Market Economic
Just when you thought equity markets were looking shaky, they’ve taken us by surprise and popped back to life like some sort of zombie back from the dead.
Around the world, the US, Asian and Australian markets performed well last week making up for most of the losses of the past month. European markets even came back a bit although it was more a stabilisation than a recovery as the issues in Ukraine continued to weigh heavily on the region.
