- 0:16Speaker 2: Shane Sley Harbor Asset Management is with us right now,
- 0:19Speaker 2: has Shane Hey? He Now, how have the markets reacted
- 0:22Speaker 2: to this ongoing nonsense from Donald Trump?
- 0:25Speaker 3: So on Friday, mister Trump, he's written to impose a
- 0:28Speaker 3: fifty percent tariff on the European Union from the first
- 0:30Speaker 3: of June because they are being slow and doing a
- 0:33Speaker 3: deal with them. And he also said I'm going to
- 0:35Speaker 3: slap our twenty five percent terrify on Apple and any
- 0:37Speaker 3: of the device makers at the dance start moving to
- 0:39Speaker 3: the US. Schim Makett didn't really like it. U shimak
- 0:42Speaker 3: With down about point seven percent. US bond markets are flat.
- 0:45Speaker 3: Not the reaction we've seen back in April, when someone
- 0:48Speaker 3: like this would have seen markets lose their lunch. So
- 0:51Speaker 3: pep skinning a little bit less less sensitive announcements. Over
- 0:55Speaker 3: the weekend. Sullivon Delaydon, who is President of the European Commission,
- 0:59Speaker 3: set a phone called mister Trump said, listen to a deal.
- 1:02Speaker 3: Mister Trump said, let's extend things out. So look, you
- 1:05Speaker 3: know it's just a reminder again that we had defaces
- 1:09Speaker 3: ongoing uncertainty around tariff. We've got a holday overnight in
- 1:13Speaker 3: the US. What we can see is that the market futures.
- 1:17Speaker 3: This is people like me betting on tims of what
- 1:20Speaker 3: they think is going to happen. Have got the US
- 1:22Speaker 3: market at one percent, so we'll be up. He's our
- 1:24Speaker 3: market pretty flat than the day. We're down slightly, the
- 1:26Speaker 3: year markers ten point four percent, bonds did nothing. The
- 1:29Speaker 3: interesting one is the market is going anything US to
- 1:33Speaker 3: sell US trades coming back, and so the US dollar
- 1:35Speaker 3: is the big decliner and serve the New Zealand dollars
- 1:38Speaker 3: up to over sixty against the US dollar again today.
- 1:41Speaker 3: So yeah, there's a bit of movement there.
- 1:42Speaker 2: Obviously quite a few companies reporting this week. Who are
- 1:44Speaker 2: you going to be watching, Shane.
- 1:46Speaker 3: Yeah, look well obviously globally and the video is out
- 1:49Speaker 3: on Wednesday. That will be the big well Wednesday, US Tuesday,
- 1:52Speaker 3: New Zealand. Fifteen companies here in New Zealand big ones
- 1:55Speaker 3: Wednesday fishing and park were health care and in Pratol Thursday,
- 1:59Speaker 3: we've got main Freight in Rhyme and we've got five
- 2:00Speaker 3: real estate stocks so far the results season has been
- 2:03Speaker 3: pretty good, so hopefully fingers crossed that trend continues over
- 2:06Speaker 3: the rest of the week.
- 2:07Speaker 2: What are you expecting from the OCR on Wednesday? I
- 2:09Speaker 2: mean it's obviously going down. Is it down by twenty five?
- 2:11Speaker 2: Down by fifty?
- 2:13Speaker 3: Yeah? No, twenty five is what the market has priced
- 2:15Speaker 3: in for it. So from three point five to three
- 2:17Speaker 3: point twenty five, it's all about the tone. Is there
- 2:19Speaker 3: going to be more cuts and win and that might
- 2:22Speaker 3: in turn be influenced by how much weight's placed on
- 2:24Speaker 3: those global factors like tariff risk. You know, things have
- 2:28Speaker 3: peraps gotten less bad. We've always just seen you know,
- 2:31Speaker 3: some New Zealand today to get a bit better. So,
- 2:33Speaker 3: you know, can I be talk about putting our pauson? Maybe?
- 2:37Speaker 3: I think go back to what you were talking about
- 2:38Speaker 3: earlier on. I think the general public would like to
- 2:40Speaker 3: see a little bit more of a drop. The market's
- 2:43Speaker 3: only pricing and that the low point and the official
- 2:47Speaker 3: rate cycle is in the Vember twenty five the way
- 2:49Speaker 3: out that's two point eighty five percent, So we should
- 2:52Speaker 3: get to three twenty five this week. It's whether how
- 2:55Speaker 3: fast and whether we get to twenty five will be
- 2:57Speaker 3: the key for Markets.
- 2:58Speaker 2: Yeah, Shane, thanks very much. I really appreciate it. Shane Soley,
