ep 387 | The week ahead - Will US inflation fall enough for the Fed?
08/08/2026 | 11 mins.
The economic highlight of the week will be the CPI inflation report in the US, which covers the month of July and is out on Wednesday. This release takes on greater importance after the soft jobs report, which saw expectations for further Federal Reserve rate hikes fall back sharply. Markets now see a greater chance of no change at the September meeting.
ep 386 | Spotlight on the US equity market
06/08/2026 | 25 mins.
There's a lot going on in the US at the moment, from monetary policy and midterms, to earnings releases and market leadership rotations. We spoke to a US equities expert at JPMorgan Asset Management to answer some of our questions and provide some insights into the investment outlook.
ep 385 | Big market moves under the hood
04/08/2026 | 5 mins.
If you’ve only glanced at the S&P 500 index in the US these past few months, you might conclude it’s been a relatively quiet period. The market is up around 11 per cent this year, just slightly below its all-time high. Nothing to see here. Look under the hood, however, and it’s a completely different story.
ep 384 | The week ahead - Earnings roll on as markets endure massive volatility
01/08/2026 | 15 mins.
It’ll be another busy week of corporate earnings releases too, with close to 140 more S&P 500 companies scheduled to report. A wide range of sectors will be represented, with some of the highlights likely to be Caterpillar, McDonald's,Disney, Uber and Republic Services. SpaceX will announce its inaugural result as a listed company, while we'll also hear from healthcare heavyweights Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk.
ep 383 | The OCR is headed higher, but is the economy?
28/07/2026 | 10 mins.
The dust has settled on the Reserve Bank’s July hike in the Official Cash Rate, the first in three years. There’s been plenty of debate about whether that was the right move or not, but developments since then (like stronger inflation and a rise in oil prices) suggest it probably was. However, we've also seen some early signs of recovery across the economy, which might put us in good stead to withstand higher borrowing costs.
