OPINION

Latest Market Matters Opinions

07/03/2026 09:29

First Up

The ASX200 has endured a tough start to March, historically the second-weakest month for the Australian market over the past decade. By Friday's close, even after posting a fresh all-time high on Tuesday, the market had retreated 3.7%, with the previously high-flying materials stocks weighing heavily on the market. The onset of war in the Middle East caused significant volatility across financial markets, with oil soaring, bonds falling amid inflation fears, and rate-sensitive stocks being dragged lower. Stocks exposed to economic growth were also battered, with copper names leading the declines. Conversely, the energy sector was understandably strong, and some tech names benefited from bargain hunting, as we saw some noticeable reversion from value to growth across the ASX.

Question asked 06/03/2026

Effect of an escalating war in the middle east on CSL ltd (CSL)

A bit of a morbid question, sorry. Is it possible to model an escalating number of (non-fatal) casualties on CSL's revenue? Would an extra 10,000 wounded in a month move the needle?

Ask James

Question asked 06/03/2026

Bapcor ‘Retail Entitlement Offer’

I'd value your opinion on Bapcor, which has had a rough time and is offering shareholders shares at $0.60 each. Should we chase the loss and not get diluted? It seems like we have little choice but to buy and hope, sitting on such a large loss from $5.20 only a year ago! Thanks, Campbell.
