OPINION

Latest Market Matters Opinions

27/07/2026 09:49

First Up

US credit markets are the most hawkish they’ve been in the last 2 years, pricing in one and probably two 0.25% rate hikes by Christmas - not that long since their last rate cut by 0.25% in Dec’25, the final move in an aggressive 1.75% easing cycle. Markets have increased rate hike expectations this month following hawkish Fed signals, renewed inflation concerns from higher oil prices, and rising long-term bond yields as heavy government borrowing increased. A cooler-than-anticipated inflation print (CPI) earlier in the month helped, but the oil price quickly became the overriding factor.

ASX200 Index

At the index level, it appears the ASX 200 is comfortable trading around the 8800 level, but the volatility under the hood has been high. It’s just that funds have been rotating in an out of stocks/sectors rather that in and out of the market. At this stage it appears the bulls require a “believable” resolution to the US-Iran conflict, &/or a cracking reporting season next month - at least expectations feel muted/cautious. However, when we look at the broad markets valuation its ok except on one front:

Question asked 24/07/2026

SMSF or Industry Fund

I'm 75 and have had a SMSF fund for over 25 years - I love it, enjoy operating it and am happy with my returns. However, I've been thinking about simplifying life and super and am thinking of closing the SMSF and transferring funds into a professionally managed Superfund. The problem is, I have been spooked lately by news that a greedy Labor Government might have Super Funds in their sight. As I said, I love looking after my own super so, given this news, what are your thoughts on staying with what I know or taking my chances for simplicity sake and venturing to the Dark Side?

Ideas for improvements

Hi again, I know this message will reach you after the cutoff time, so please don't stress to reply tomorrow. I love listening to the MM podcast particularly at times when I can't be very productive, like driving. It would be awesome to have the option of listening to the reports as well. The Australian newspaper reader is a good benchmark for you to consider. Also, I really look forward to being able to access more ETFs data on your platform, particularly those listed on the ASX. Lastly, one thing I really miss from your charting tool is the ability of comparing two or more ticker codes. You present a lot of those comparisons in your reports, which I find really useful, but it is a shame we can't recreate some of it on the MM platform. Some ideas for improvement : ) Thanks, Angela
