OPINION

Latest Market Matters Opinions

25/04/2026 09:59

First Up

The ASX200 ended the penultimate week of April, surrendering -1.8% of the month's gain, with a string of profit downgrades combining with the country’s high vulnerability to the global fuel crisis caused by the Iran war - the oil price continues to grind higher with no clear resolution in sight for the conflict. A wave of profit downgrades swept the ASX, led this week by Cochlear’s earnings shock, which sent its shares plunging 40%. Other companies warning that surging energy costs will weigh on earnings included Qantas, Worley, a2 Milk, Orora, Cleanaway and Qube. The ASX is also struggling because its two heavyweight sectors have come off the boil, the banks and resources.

24/04/2026 16:44

What Mattered Today

A choppy session that mirrored yesterday’s move to end the week as higher oil prices kept a lid on the local market for most of the day until a decent ~50pt rally from the lows saw the index finish almost flat into the close. The selling in financials eased, providing some stability, while materials weighed as gold stocks took a hit.

Question asked 24/04/2026

Money markets – do you see a pullback in US markets coming

The US share market has been fascinating lately with all the bad news on Iran and the strait of homuz the market S&P500 and Nasdaq are at all-time highs. S&P 500 PE’s Trailing PE 25x Forward PE 20-21x earnings Historic average 15x – 20x modern era average So on a value perspective you would not think the market is overly expensive compared to where it was earlier in the year. Earnings are expected to be good this quarter with talk of multiple expansion occurring this year, I guess my question to MM is do you see a pullback coming or do you see the US markets continuing higher in 2026 with a few speedbumps on the way? thanks Andrew
