Stocks held higher ground in overnight trading despite clear evidence of slowing growth in the world’s two major economies. Weaker US growth and slumping manufacturing in China had little impact as investors appeared to focus on a drop in inflation and the potential for the US Federal Reserve to reduce interest rates.

US shares rallied in overnight trading as President Trump eased tariffs on automotive makers. The lift in markets brings them close to levels seen just before the “Liberation Day” introduction of tariff, completing a round trip for markets. However strong remarks from President Xi, doubts from corporate America and weakness in copper and oil markets suggest the current rally is fueled by optimism rather than fact.

A compelling picture is emerging on the $S&P/ASX 200 (.XJO.AU)$ chart. The index is approaching a crucial chart point at 8,060 just as Australian voters prepare to go the polls on Saturday. The positioning of the index indicates a potentially huge market reaction to the election result – in contrast to polls that show a Labor victory is increasingly likely.

The last week of the Federal election campaign is showing signs of springing to life. A restrained and dour campaign, dominated by a politician who’s not on the ballot paper, has so far lacked any policy heft or depth. The existential threat to the major parties has forced the discussion to a populist middle which is neither worthy nor particularly interesting.

Local and global influences are combining to drive a highly volatile investment environment for Australian investors. Trump tariffs, recession threats, a Federal election, uncertain central banks, vigilante bond traders, surging gold prices and nervous energy markets, have all contributed to the change in share market conditions.

Uranium investors are delivering a verdict on the Australian federal Election – and its bad news for the Coalition. When the prospects for Peter Dutton’s led conservative party were increasing at the end of 2024 and the beginning of this year there was clear support for uranium stocks. However the turn in political momentum that now favors Labor and The Greens has accompanied a decline in uranium stocks.

Space Dust : Good Day
Sir,
I have a weird idea that someone of your stature may be able to shed light on, and provide some sort of navigation buoy in this deep, thick mist we are in.
Is there some sort of way to conceptualize or visualize how inverse/short ETFS have, in a very positive way, possibly skewed downturns:
1. under the surface was worse once these are factored out.
2. a metric to know if we are in the calm, eye of the storm, or what
3. In the 'old days' of corrections, money just EVAPORATED, noone was really buying as much so this led to bigger losses.
4. Now, retail piles into short ETFs so in a way, that NASDAQ only went down 15% instead of typically 30%. Money into the markets, as a ballast against the selling.
5. If this hair brained idea held water, then human nature needs to know. Many would feel differently and some would be more at ease, that a "huge" loss has passed over. Clear skies ahead .
meaning, instead of a 25% drawdown post tariff. it was more like 37% had retail not piled into inverse ETFs.
Many would feel less skittish maybe if some type of " without inverse " overlay was applied to charts?
as a recovering contrarian bottom fisherman like me, at least.
Michael McCarthy CEO OP Space Dust : Fascinating idea. Certainly could be a contributor. The biggest market moves are due to surprise - a sudden change in the outlook. Part of that has to do with underlying "facts", and part of it is due to the interpretation of those facts. This may mean that the availability of short instruments has more participants considering the downside, meaning downside surprises have less impact and are therefore shallower.
