The Match Out: Stocks surge as inflation & employment cool

A very bullish session for the ASX today, pushing the market to within 10 points of its all-time high. A more benign inflation read in the US overnight, with CPI printing lower month-on-month had the bulls up and about early, before softer employment data locally saw interest rate traders ramp up their bets for an RBA rate cut this side of Christmas – all in all, a great day for risk assets.

The Match Out: Post-Budget strength but apprehension ahead of US CPI

The ASX was on the front foot early today before paring gains as the session wore on in the post-budget trade. UBS thinks the budget is ultimately good for stocks given its pro-growth even though that could mean interest rates remain higher for longer. The ASX200 finished up 26pts, though this was ~30pts from the intraday high, still only 2% from the all-time high.

The Match Out: ASX drifts lower ahead of the Federal Budget

The ASX drifted back today ahead of the Federal Budget due for release tonight, some headlines already coming through suggesting a ~$9b surplus will be announced alongside some support for critical minerals including nickel and copper. We suspect some of the weakness today was a risk-off move ahead of US inflation data on Wednesday though stocks in Asia were fairly quiet while US Futures were unchanged during our time zone.

The Match Out: ASX in a slumber ahead of the Budget & key US Inflation Data

A quiet start to a busy week from a data perspective, the Australian Budget is out tomorrow (not usually market moving), ahead of the US Inflation Data on Wednesday (which is usually market moving). Today, stocks moved in a tight ~20-point range with little conviction in either direction, before a spurt in the last hour pushed the index into positive territory (just).

The Match Out: Retailers, Banks & Property stocks knock the ASX

A tough session for the ASX today with a confluence of factors combining to hit Property, Financials and Retailers fairly hard. Signs that consumers are starting to feel the pinch of higher rates was the common theme, with both CBA and Judo highlighting an uptick in arrears on the same day that several retailers flagged softer sales.

The Match Out: RBA adds fuel to the rally, ASX less than 2% away from all-time highs

The local market enjoyed the best session in 3 months today with a broad-based rally for much of the day turning into overdrive following a more ‘dovish’ than expected RBA which had interest rates on hold this afternoon. The gain of more than 100 points is even more impressive given NAB went ex-dividend today, the bank falling 52c vs 84c dividend, managing to hold onto more than just the attached franking credits.

The Match Out: ASX rallies, UBS think 8000 is on the cards!

A strong start to the 2nd week of May as softer US employment data on Friday allayed some concerns around sticky inflation and higher interest rates. As bond yields pulled back, equities got some clear air to rally buoyed by US quarterly earnings that are coming in stronger than expected. i.e. the Goldilocks scenario remains in play.

The Match Out: Stocks end the week higher, Macquarie’s FY24 result a touch light on

A solid session to end a choppy but overall positive week for stocks with some big moves playing out across the market. The rate-sensitive sectors in Real-Estate & Property were the main winners for the week showing strong reversion from last week's move. This ongoing uncertainty around interest rates is clearly having a big influence, however, if MM is correct, the next move in rates will be down which will be supportive of equities overall, hence we’ve maintained our bullish bias towards stocks.
