What is MM’s favoured ASX 50 stock (s)?

Hi, A question for James for Saturday. With the recent decline in the market, what ASX50 stocks would you recommend for the short term? Regards

Answer

Hi Cameron,

In todays extremely volatile market short-term swings are more pronounced than in many years, rather than specifically pick 5 companies worth a trade I have selected 5 companies we like medium term hence if they do correct further MM will become even keener buyers:

Macquarie Group (MQG), Goodman Group (GMG), TPG Telecom (TPG), Aristocrat (ALL) plus BHP Group (BHP) which we do like for a short-term move higher.

The Match Out: Middle East tensions see risk off for equities

Shares tracked pre-market futures lower early in our session before headlines of a further escalation in the Middle Eastern conflict caused another wave of selling took the market to 2 month lows. Energy found support with oil cracking $US90/bbl again which was also a concern for those positioned for inflation to roll off. Until midday, traders had no interest in taking risk in today’s session but the afternoon painted a different picture. The ASX closed well off the intraday lows with many sectors rallying more than 0.5% between midday and the end of trade. Despite the Friday afternoon fight, the local market had its worst week since September, falling -220pts / -2.83%.
