ASIA & CNEW ETF’s

MM Team, A few weeks ago you mentioned ASIA and CNEW as two EFTs that you "liked" at that time, that was prior to bond yields starting to increase. In your opinion what is the most likely future direction of the above. Regards, John

Answer

Hi John,

Certainly a tough one in today’s environment but that’s why we’re here!

I think short-term they are looking for a low in-line with our outlook for some consolidation by bond yields but medium / longer term we would be looking to sell strength.

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.
