OPINION

Latest Market Matters Opinions

13/07/2026 09:41

First Up

Last week we saw renewed fighting in the Middle East, with Iran declaring the Strait of Hormuz closed "until further notice" on Saturday, stating no vessels would be permitted to pass until foreign interference ends. Last week, Crude oil spiked around 8% following the escalation in tensions, although it did surrender some of the gains as the week wore on. However, despite the geopolitical uncertainty, global equities shrugged off the fighting, with the Dow making new all-time highs and the MSCI World Index closing less than 0.5% below its same milestone.

13/07/2026 09:40

ASX200 Index

The ASX showed resilience towards the end of last week, closing on its highs in the last 3 sessions but it was still unable to deliver any kind of trend with the 8800-level acting like strong magnet for the index - it’s been well over 6-months since the ASX200 moved in either direction for four consecutive weeks. We can still see the ASX200 trading back above 9000 this month but it’s going to need a catalyst to move out of its comfort zone.

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?
