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.
ep 382 | The week ahead - Oil prices surge ahead of the Fed meeting
25/07/2026 | 16 mins.
A busy week looms, with monetary policy decisions due in the US, UK and Japan. Corporate earnings releases will also be closely watched, with some 180 S&P 500 companies scheduled to report. Tech will be very much in the spotlight as we hear from US heavyweights Microsoft, Meta, Apple and Amazon, as well as Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix in South Korea.
ep 381 | How the '87 crash shaped a generation
21/07/2026 | 10 mins.
The sharemarket crash of 1987 was a major global event, but it hit New Zealand harder than other countries. Our sharemarket fell much more than the likes of the US, UK and Japan, while the recovery took much longer. That scarred an generation and changed the fabric of how we invest, but are those bad memories beginning to fade?
ep 380 | The week ahead - Will strong earnings put markets in a better mood?
18/07/2026 | 14 mins.
A cooler US inflation reading and strong bank earnings releases weren't enough to offset the nervousness, for which there have been several catalysts. US crude oil prices are up, while hawkish comments from Fed officials pushed interest rates higher. Investors have also continued to sell chip stocks and tech exposures on the back of valuation concerns. With earnings season ramping up this week, will some strong results turn sentiment around?
