MM views on ASX

“Hello James, your thoughts on ASX please. The price has declined to its support line on technical analysis and its yielding 4.1% grossed” – Indran.

Answer

Morning Indran,

The ASX has pulled back over 20% but it’s still enjoyed a mighty run over recent years, its all about timeframes. The ASX is basically still a monopoly which has delivered strong earnings / dividend growth over the last 10-years, post the GFC, which has seen the stock appreciate accordingly. It may not be the most exciting stock in town but with a projected 3.5% fully franked yield the shares should be well supported into any weakness under $70.

The Match Out: CPI dents equity rally ahead of ANZAC Day

Equities followed the US market higher this morning, also adding a little premium thanks to a handful of positive quarterly reports that were announced after the North American markets closed. That all took a back seat as inflation data printed late morning, CPI coming in hotter than expected which sent the market into a spin, falling ~0.6% at the time before finding some relief. In the end, the index closed little changed, a good result given the circumstances though largely thanks to support from the Big 4 banks.

Portfolio Positioning: Bonds fell, dragging stocks along for the ride, both are now basing in our opinion

Bond markets have struggled over recent weeks as inflation appeared increasingly “sticky,” but it hardly registers on the chart compared to their weakness through 2021/2 and mid-2023. We believe the local credit markets have come back to realistic levels as the RBA awaits further economic data to deliver clarity on the underlying strength and direction of the local economy. Traders have gone from being far too optimistic on rate cuts into Christmas to becoming almost pessimistic; the US futures markets have gone from pricing in three cuts to 1.77 cuts, or one definitely, and probably two.
