- 0:16Speaker 2: Let's get to Shane Soley with Harbor Asset Management for
- 0:18Speaker 2: a market update. Shane, good evening, Get it right. So,
- 0:21Speaker 2: any reaction from markets to Trump and his Greenland tariff threat?
- 0:26Speaker 3: Yeah, well, look this potential for a bit of a
- 0:28Speaker 3: risk off start to the week after mister Trump announced
- 0:31Speaker 3: tariffs on eight European nations. Greenland's sold to the US,
- 0:35Speaker 3: and then of course the Europeans have come out and
- 0:37Speaker 3: with their own response to this. What we're seeing in
- 0:39Speaker 3: the futures market for the US and European shear markets.
- 0:43Speaker 3: This has shown what markets expect to happen is weaker markets.
- 0:46Speaker 3: The US market may be down about this is just
- 0:48Speaker 3: under one percent, European market just over one percent. The
- 0:52Speaker 3: US markets are closed tonight for Martin Luther King Days.
- 0:55Speaker 3: It will actually be choosed to be for reaction. But
- 0:57Speaker 3: look our market's here locally, Asia Pacific down between half
- 1:02Speaker 3: and one percent. In the shear market, is market down
- 1:04Speaker 3: one percent? Is the iron tenure bonds zero point five
- 1:08Speaker 3: percent to four point five percent? I think you know
- 1:10Speaker 3: we're getting used to these trumpet policy tape bombs and
- 1:14Speaker 3: that this whole world order is changing. But this is
- 1:17Speaker 3: just another reminder Ryan that investors should be expecting more volatility,
- 1:21Speaker 3: particularly into the US presidential midterms.
- 1:24Speaker 2: And what about reaction to the Prime Minister State of
- 1:27Speaker 2: the Nation address.
- 1:28Speaker 4: Yeah, look, I think the market's taken.
- 1:30Speaker 3: Mister Luckxein's address pretty much is straight down the line
- 1:33Speaker 3: for investment markets, no big bowel promises, no big money
- 1:36Speaker 3: being thrown around.
- 1:37Speaker 4: Markets still agree with mister Luxelon's view.
- 1:39Speaker 3: On the newsion economy of covering in twenty six and
- 1:41Speaker 3: then there's a brighter yea. The fiscal discipline might have
- 1:46Speaker 3: disappointed one or two people who are expecting some stimulus announcements,
- 1:50Speaker 3: but for capital markets that's a good thing. Reassuring the
- 1:53Speaker 3: government's all about taking care of the balance sheet and
- 1:58Speaker 3: investors are like that. A little bit of positiveness.
- 2:01Speaker 4: Maybe around the increase in QUSA the con contributions.
- 2:03Speaker 3: That it does go to twelve percent, But yeah, I
- 2:06Speaker 3: think you know, well, no surprises and this election date
- 2:10Speaker 3: still out there. Maybe we get that later this week
- 2:12Speaker 3: from the caucus meeting and christ each market is expected
- 2:15Speaker 3: sort of October and the MB so we gould already
- 2:17Speaker 3: go for elections.
- 2:19Speaker 2: Certainly do long way to go, it's going to feel
- 2:21Speaker 2: like an eternity too. Hey, the inflations are still sticky here,
- 2:25Speaker 2: Does that mean the Reserve Bank's not going to cut
- 2:27Speaker 2: further in February the next meeting.
- 2:30Speaker 3: Yeah, Look, I think the data coming out recently is
- 2:32Speaker 3: suggested there's pretty Mexican terms of inflation data.
- 2:35Speaker 4: We're seeing some up, some down.
- 2:36Speaker 3: Over All, the data suggests that this inflation numbers, it's
- 2:40Speaker 3: running a little bit higher than levels that support Reserve
- 2:42Speaker 3: Bank cutting rates. And this improving India economic data and
- 2:46Speaker 3: we're a really strong purchacing manager and up last week
- 2:49Speaker 3: to fifty six point one. Is the pressure is not
- 2:53Speaker 3: the same driver there for the RB and Z at
- 2:55Speaker 3: the cut rates. This mark is not actually cutting. Sorry,
- 2:58Speaker 3: this mark is not actually pricing any more cuts and
- 3:01Speaker 3: by the Reserve Bank this year. In fact, it's actually
- 3:03Speaker 3: allowing for more of a more like an increase, with
- 3:06Speaker 3: zero point four percent increase into the second half of
- 3:09Speaker 3: twenty twenty six, taking official cash rates to two point
- 3:11Speaker 3: six by the end of December.
- 3:13Speaker 4: So yeah, we've got the steps.
- 3:15Speaker 3: New Zealand consumer price in Dix out on Friday for
- 3:18Speaker 3: the fourth quarter of twenty twenty five, markets expecting a
- 3:21Speaker 3: quarterly reading of zero point five percent and which would
- 3:24Speaker 3: be three percent year on you that's a little bit
- 3:26Speaker 3: above what the Reserve Bank's targeting is, so you know,
- 3:28Speaker 3: if the CPI data comes in higher, then this could
- 3:31Speaker 3: actually see expectations of rate increases dragged forward.
