OPINION

Latest Market Matters Opinions

08/04/2026 14:58

Newmont Corp (NEM)

Newmont has extended its April recovery to ~30% after an 11th hour US-Iran ceasefire has reduced global inflation fears, allowing bonds to bounce, sending precious metals and respective stocks roaring higher.

08/04/2026 09:58

The Bottom Line

• We remain bullish equities through 2026, including iron ore stocks. We continue to like BHP for growth and income, FMG for income. Vale looks attractive internationally, and we don’t see CIA as overly compelling at this stage.

Xero Ltd (XRO)

Dear James and Team I have been a subscriber for many years and respect your views and strategy on the market This week you topped up on Xero . I agree with you that this is a quality business and on a risk/reward basis could well be higher in 12 months time ( along with many other software companies ) What was your trigger to top up now ? I am not questioning your judgement but just trying to understand your process Was your decision based on a price point , or some other factors For the record I do own Xero and will top up at some stage , but not until I see some evidence of price appreciation above the moving averages I look forward to your comments Many thanks David
