OPINION

Latest Market Matters Opinions

02/05/2026 08:57

First Up

The ASX200 ended its 8-day losing streak on Friday with a solid +0.7% advance, although it promised more early on before the “Big Four Banks” reversed lower. It felt worse, but come the closing bell on Friday, the index was only down 0.6% for the week, although compared to the strong gains in the US, it was a clear disappointment. It was the big end of town that reined in the market last week, with the banks and heavyweight miners retreating. Next Wednesday, we see the RBA step up on interest rates, with credit markets pricing in a ~74% certainty of a 0.25% hike, while on the following Tuesday, we will receive the Federal Budget- there’s no rest for the wicked in May!

01/05/2026 16:54

ResMed Inc (ASX:RMD) 28.73

RMD -3.53%: ResMed delivered a solid March quarter result, with revenue and earnings both ahead of expectations, helped by ongoing demand for its sleep apnoea devices, masks and broader connected-care ecosystem.
