OPINION

Latest Market Matters Opinions

15/07/2026 09:49

First Up

The ASX 200 has now rallied from early losses to close near its highs for five consecutive sessions, after recovering an early 50-point deficit on Tuesday to end the session flat. The miners bounced strongly to close higher despite crude oil trading ~5% higher, with Evolution Mining (+3.2%), South32 (+2%), Regis Resources (+2%), Sandfire (+1.5%), and BHP Group (+0.6%) catching our eye as a slow but steady bid tone surfaced across the gold and copper names. These miners were helped by a recovery in gold (+0.5%) and copper (+1.5%) during our trading session as the $US edged lower ahead of the important US CPI inflation data.

15/07/2026 09:47

US S&P 500 Index

The S&P 500 closed up 0.4% this morning, helped by a bounce in semiconductors, softer inflation data, and a strong financial sector following earnings beats by the first banks to report. The US banks kicked off earnings season strongly, with Goldman Sachs jumping +9% after comfortably beating expectations, while JPMorgan Chase and Bank of America both gained around +2% following bumper second-quarter results, dragging up the broader financial sector, with UBS rallying by 3.6%. The only bank to disappoint was Citi, which fell 5% on a mixed update. We would expect Macquarie to have a good day – nicely poised to break out of it’s recent trading range to new highs.

Question asked 10/07/2026

GEAR – rising to the challenge.

The stock market's long term trend is relentlessly rising, looking at any time frame larger than 1 year the ASX rises... given this, would we not all be best just to buy GEAR and forget everything else? Why stock pick when you can get 250% leverage on a long term ever rising market? I would love to see a chart that overlays the GEAR stock price against the longer term performance of a 'typical' (MM?) growth or other actively managed portfolio. Alain

Commodity Clock

Still on this commodity super cycle - the emperor with no clothes. Someone described the cycle like a clock, with 6 o'clock being the bottom of the cycle and 12 o'clock being the peak, and suggesting that we are currently at about 7 o'clock. So, why are we screaming towards 5 o'clock?
