OPINION

Latest Market Matters Opinions

14/09/2026 09:51

The Bottom Line

We remain cautiously bullish towards the ASX into Christmas though we’re more confident that US indices will punch to new highs in 2026 as headwinds brew for some of our big miners.

14/09/2026 09:51

Chart(s) of the Week: Woodside Energy (WDS) $32.86

The chart of WDS shown below is one that’s concerned us in recent months, i.e. it’s bullish suggesting oil will remain firm, stoking inflation, weighing on rate-sensitive stocks. Both charts shown on the energy sector today suggest oil prices will be higher for longer, but of course with plenty of volatility along the way.

Question asked 12/09/2026

Bond yields and resources

Hi MM, Thanks for the great work. Sorry a few questions here. 1. On the macro, do you have a view as to where US bond yields might top out and also oil prices? 2. On copper exposure, thoughts on BHP vs RIO? And also on FFM as a Cu play. Thanks! Young
