What Mattered Today

The ASX 200 closed higher today as a rebound in miners and a firmer bank sector offset broad losses elsewhere. Materials was the standout on the day (+2.32%) despite being the week's weakest sector over five days (-4.41%) — a sharp reversal as gold pushed toward US$4,115/oz and iron ore cleared US$99/tonne. Healthcare was the biggest drag, led lower by Pro Medicus. The index still finished the week down 0.43%, its fourth straight weekly decline.

The Match Out: ASX rises on the day but locks in fourth straight weekly loss

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

Question asked 10/07/2026

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?
