After years of being the market's perennial underdog, Europe is finally having a moment. In this episode Moz Afzal sits down with Gerry Fowler, Head of European Equity Strategy at UBS, to explore why sentiment on European equities has shifted and why this upgrade in tone looks structurally different from false dawns of the past.Gerry walks through the bottom-up story reshaping the market – from AI capex “late cycle joiners” in cables, turbines and semis equipment to a broadening industrial recovery fueled by German fiscal stimulus. The pair also discuss why Spain and Italy have outperformed and the bifurcated outlook for European autos.Our host, Moz Afzal:https://bit.ly/31XbkTROur guest:Gerry Fowler, Head of European Equity Strategy at UBShttps://bit.ly/3WUjyItEFG:https://www.efginternational.com/Important disclaimersThe value of investments and the income derived from them can fall as well as rise, and past performance is no indicator of future performance.

Join Dennis Voznesenski, CBA's Agricultural and Sustainability Economist, for this week's Agri Commodity Update - where escalating Black Sea export disruption, stronger oil-markets and improving Australian rainfall collide with farmgate prices. This week, Dennis unpacks why Australian APW1 prices fell as northern hemisphere harvest supply pressure and favourable local weather weighed on prices, before examining why Russia's wheat story is increasingly about how much grain it can get out, rather than simply how much it can produce. He also breaks down canola's rally from oil-markets, Black Sea logistics and North American biofuel demand, before turning to cattle markets where favourable rain and tight US beef supply remain supportive, but temporarily weaker export demand is limiting local price upside.   Disclaimer:    Important Information   This podcast is approved and distributed by Global Economic & Markets Research (“GEMR”), a business division of the Commonwealth Bank of Australia ABN 48 123 123 124 AFSL 234945 (“the Bank”).  Before listening to this podcast, you are advised to read the full GEMR disclaimers, which can be found at www.commbankresearch.com.au.   No Reliance  This podcast is not investment research and nor does it purport to make any recommendations.

Airports and ports, pipelines and power lines. Infrastructure is all around us — and demand for it could be entering one of its biggest booms in generations. In this episode, Mike Taylor and Kent Williams of Pie Funds unpack what’s driving that demand, from the rapid buildout of AI and data centres to growing pressure on power grids and the electrification of everyday life. How does Pie decide which infrastructure assets to invest in? Can power supply keep up with rising demand? Will the enormous sums being spent on AI deliver a return? And why is only a fraction of the world’s infrastructure available to everyday investors?

China’s exports are booming while its property market and consumers remain under pressure, so what’s really happening in the world’s second-largest economy? Host Mandy Drury speaks with CommBank Economist & Currency Strategist Carol Kong about China’s increasingly two-speed economy and why Beijing is moving away from the stimulus-led growth model of the past. They discuss the property downturn, weak household confidence and the shift towards advanced manufacturing, technology and greater economic self-reliance. Carol also explains why China is willing to accept slower growth in pursuit of its long-term priorities, the risks that strategy creates for consumers and global trade, and what China’s changing economy could mean for Australian businesses and investors. Plus, CommBank Economist Harry Ottley shares the key focuses for markets in the week ahead.

SHARESIES · MARKET MOVEMENTS · 11 AUGUST 2026Jacki Neumann, Head of Capital Markets at Sharesies Note: Filmed Monday 10 August ↑ WHAT’S UP — The S&P 500 hit a new record close to finish the week up 3.6%, the Nasdaq up 5.2% in its best week since May, and the ASX 200 climbing 3.2% to its own new record. Strong corporate earnings helped power the rally: Palantir jumped 29.5% after 93% revenue growth, AMD posted record quarterly revenue of US$11.5 billion, and SpaceX surged around 23% on its first public results. ↓ WHAT’S DOWN — ResMed shares fell after a mixed underlying result. Oil was choppy, falling initially on hopes of a deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, only to climb later in the week as Iran moved to restrict US and Israeli vessels. ! BIGGEST SURPRISES — The US July jobs report shed 23,000 jobs against expectations to gain around 80,000, even as the unemployment rate fell to 4.1%. Markets read it as easing Fed pressure, cutting September rate-hike odds to 41% from 55%. ◎ WHAT TO WATCH — The RBA decides on Tuesday, with a hold at 4.35% expected, and US July CPI and PPI will test whether price pressures are easing after the oil run-up. Reporting season continues with RocketLab, Cisco and Super Micro in the US, and CBA, ANZ, Westpac, QBE, IAG and Suncorp locally. ◈ BIGGER PICTURE — Records across Wall Street and the ASX show a firmly risk-on market, powered by strong earnings and tentative signs of easing Middle East tensions. Appetite remains for the AI and growth trade, demonstrated by Palantir, AMD, and SpaceX. But unsettled oil prices and the impact of a soft US jobs print sit in the background as potential swing factors.

They also discuss the battle between open and closed AI models as well as the key risks that could shape where AI infrastructure spending goes next.Our host, Moz Afzal:https://bit.ly/31XbkTROur guest:Henry Waltershttps://bit.ly/4wbDgiuEFG:https://www.efginternational.com/Important disclaimersThe value of investments and the income derived from them can fall as well as rise, and past performance is no indicator of future performance.

Australia is attracting billions of dollars in data centre investment, but can the country deliver the infrastructure needed to support the AI boom? Host Mandy Drury speaks with CommBank Economist Lucinda Jerogin about Australia's rapidly expanding data centre pipeline, what is driving demand and why the sector is set to become the biggest contributor to business investment growth over the next two years. They discuss the scale of the proposed build-out, why the economic boost is smaller than the investment headline suggests, and the evidence that projects are already moving beyond announcements. They also explore the challenges facing the sector, from electricity, water and skills shortages to community opposition, and whether Australia's data centre boom should ultimately be viewed as an AI opportunity or an infrastructure challenge. Plus, CommBank International & Sustainable Economist John Oh shares the key focuses for markets in the week ahead.

Join Dennis Voznesenski, Agriculture and Sustainability Economist at Commonwealth Bank, for this week's Agri Commodity Update - where Black Sea disruption, improving northern hemisphere supply and softer global demand collide with Australian farmgate prices. This week, Dennis unpacks why wheat prices fell as harvest supply outweighed repeated attacks on Black Sea export infrastructure, why Australian APW1 prices followed offshore futures lower and how forecast southern rainfall is improving local crop prospects. He also breaks down canola's decline from improved Canadian crop conditions, weaker soybeans, softer oil-markets and a firmer Australian dollar. He then turns to cattle markets where tight US supply remains supportive, but limited inland rainfall, rising yardings and weaker Chinese and US beef-market signals are putting downward pressure on prices.   Disclaimer:    Important Information   This podcast is approved and distributed by Global Economic & Markets Research (“GEMR”), a business division of the Commonwealth Bank of Australia ABN 48 123 123 124 AFSL 234945 (“the Bank”).  Before listening to this podcast, you are advised to read the full GEMR disclaimers, which can be found at www.commbankresearch.com.au.   No Reliance  This podcast is not investment research and nor does it purport to make any recommendations.

What actually makes a bank a bank? New Zealand is overhauling the way our banking system is regulated, meaning that more organisations may soon be able to call themselves a "bank", while new deposit insurance gives you peace of mind. University of Auckland finance expert Chanelle Duley explains why more competition isn't always straightforward, what to look for when you choose where to put your money, and how regulation and technology could reshape banking over the next decade.

SHARESIES · MARKET MOVEMENTS · 3 AUGUST 2026Jacki Neumann, Head of Capital Markets at Sharesies Note: Filmed Monday 3 August ↑ WHAT’S UP — Equity markets snapped back, with the S&P 500 up around 1%, the Nasdaq up 1.6%, and the ASX 200 gaining 2.3% to break a falling streak. Rio Tinto shared strong results, while Microsoft and Amazon rose on Azure and AWS cloud growth. ↓ WHAT’S DOWN — The 30-year US Treasury yield jumped to its highest level since 2007 as investors demanded more compensation to hold amid lingering inflation doubts. Meta's earnings fell short on legal and AI infrastructure costs and Apple's record quarter was overshadowed by weak guidance. The NZX 50 bucked the trend, slipping 0.5%. ! BIGGEST SURPRISES — The Fed held rates steady despite three votes to hike, and again offered no forward guidance, leaving markets pricing a 65% chance of a September move. In Australia, June quarter CPI came in lower than expected at 3.8%, cutting the odds of an RBA hike by year-end to roughly 60%. ◎ WHAT TO WATCH — More earnings this week, with SpaceX reporting for the first time as a public company, and AMP, ResMed and REA Group due locally. Friday brings July’s US jobs report, a key read on the labour market as the Fed weighs its next move. ◈ BIGGER PICTURE — As long-dated yields hit a 9-year high, the bond market clearly doesn’t believe inflation is beaten. Investors are still responding cautiously to earnings, rewarding Microsoft and Amazon for proving that their AI spending drives revenue, while unenthused about results that don’t show a clear payoff.

In this episode of Unpacking Money, Scott Malcolm and Ara Jansen explore how winter can quietly reshape household spending. From delivery fees, online shopping and takeaway coffees to heating bills, subscriptions and travel daydreams, they unpack the “convenience tax” that can creep into everyday cashflow. The conversation focuses on practical, low-pressure ways to notice spending patterns, set a weekly convenience cap, build a winter bills buffer and redirect small savings toward goals such as debt reduction, emergency funds, investing or a future holiday. It is not about removing comfort; it is about choosing the comforts that genuinely support the life you want. Thanks for listening!

Who qualifies as a bank? The rules are about to change, and we’ve got questions for Lecturer in Economics Dr. Chanelle Duley and two challengers to the “big four” banks: SBS Bank Group’s Mark McLean and General Capital’s Brent King.

Find out what the new $100,000 deposit compensation scheme protects, why more competition could finally win you a better rate on your deposits, and whether a smaller, nimbler lender is riskier or actually safer.
