Australia's housing market has remained remarkably resilient, but is the slowdown only just beginning? Host Mandy Drury speaks with CommBank Senior Economist Trent Saunders about the latest trends in the housing market and why sentiment is starting to weaken. They discuss softer auction clearance rates, longer selling times and how higher interest rates and recent housing tax reforms are weighing on buyer and investor confidence. They also explore why CommBank economists now expect house prices to remain broadly flat through 2026, what the changes to negative gearing and capital gains tax could mean for affordability and investment, and what could help stabilise the market as interest rates eventually begin to ease. Plus, CommBank’s Associate Economist Lucinda Jerogin shares the key focuses for markets in the week ahead.

Have energy markets become too complacent about the risks of the Iran conflict? Host Mandy Drury speaks with CommBank's Head of Commodities & Sustainability Research Vivek Dhar about why oil and fuel prices have eased despite ongoing disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz. They discuss the role of global inventories, the risk of another energy price shock, and why the next few weeks could prove critical for oil markets. They also explore what higher energy prices mean for Australian households and businesses, the outlook for petrol, gas and electricity prices, and how the crisis is reshaping the conversation around energy security, electrification and the transition to a lower-carbon economy. Plus, CommBank’s Associate International Economist & Currency Strategist Samara Hammoud shares the key focuses for markets this week.

The Federal Budget attempts to tackle everything from inflation and housing to long-term budget repair, but how much will it really change the outlook for the Australian economy? Host Mandy Drury speaks with CommBank Chief Economist Luke Yeaman and Head of Market Strategy & Rates Research Adam Donaldson about the key measures in this year’s Budget and whether the Government struck the right balance between spending, savings and reform. From the impact on inflation and interest rates to the long-term path for deficits, debt and Australia’s economic resilience, they unpack what the Budget means for households, businesses and the broader economy. Luke explains the major housing tax changes, including the end of negative gearing and reforms to capital gains tax, and what they could mean for home prices and affordability. Adam also discusses what the improved fiscal outlook means for Australia’s AAA credit rating, bond issuance and state budgets. Plus, CommBank’s Associate International Economist & Currency Strategist Samara Hammoud shares the key focuses for markets this week.

Kia ora. Welcome to Monday's Economy Watch where we follow the economic events and trends that affect Aotearoa/New Zealand. I'm David Chaston and this is the international edition from Interest.co.nz. Today we lead with news that the Strait of Hormuz is still essentially shut with Trump's war on Iran far from resolved. The claims of 'ceasefires' merely propaganda exercises. Rolling skirmishes mean no shipping can get insurance, despite offers of safe passage. No-one respects anyone in a region where trust has evaporated. Locally this week, the big data insights will come from the RBNZ's survey of inflation expectations on Wednesday, migration and travel activity data on Thursday, and a first look at inflation on Friday via Stats NZ's selected price tracking. We will also get the factory PMI on Friday. In Australia, the key events will be the Federal Budget on Tuesday preceded by the Commbank profit result. There will also be consumer and business sentiment surveys out this week. In the US, it will be all about their April CPI and PPI, along with updates for retail sales and industrial production In India, they will also release CPI data. From Japan look out for household spending and PPI data too, and machine tool order updates. In China, we are expecting April updates for CPI, PPI and new yuan loan data. Over the weekend, China released its April export data and it was strong. While the US is turning inward, China is seizing the opportunities of their mistake. China's exports rose +14% in April to a record high, picking up from March's +2.5% growth despite the disruptions from the Trump Gulf War. And China's imports surged +25% on the same year-on-year basis, a second straight monthly record and confirming resilient domestic demand. It is all very impressive. China's exports to us were up only +3.8% from a year ago, but their imports from us were up +14.5. China's exports to Australia were up +36% and their imports were up +20%, but that still left Australia with a very large surplus with China. China's exports to the US were down -10.4%, and their imports down a similar -10.2%. They seem to have reduced their reliance on goods from the US to now just 9.8% of their total imports. No wonder US exports are faltering. Over the weekend, the official data from the US showed they added +115,000 payroll jobs in April at the headline level, above expectations of a +62,000 gain and following a +185,000 increase in March. It was the first back-to-back monthly gain in nearly a year, and on an 'actual' payroll basis it was stronger again. Their jobless rate was stable at 4.3%. But we should remember that all this data comes from an agency where Trump fired its head because he didn't like the results and this latest data is under the 'new management'. An independent professional review has confirmed there are distortions growing from this agency. Employment rose in health care, logistics, and in the retail trade while it fell in the manufacturing and government sectors. But if you include those not in payroll employment (self-employed etc.) there was no change on an 'actual' basis, a fall of -226,000 on a seasonally-adjusted basis. Their underclass is really struggling. And you can see that in the latest University of Michigan consumer sentiment survey for May which fell again and to a record low. The fall from April wasn't large, coming in a scant 1.6 index points below April's reading but it was comparable to the pandemic trough reached in June 2022. Year-ahead inflation expectations are for 4.5%, a touch less than in April. In Canada, their employment fell -18,000 in April, but more people entered their job market, raising their jobless rate to 6.9%. In India, banks are lending freely, with loan growth up +16% from a year ago. For all its growth narrative, India's stock exchanges are reporting serious 2026 declines, unlike most other global markets. The UST 10yr yield is now just on 4.36%, unchanged from this time Saturday, down -2 bps for the week.  The price of gold will start today down -US$9 at US$4714/oz, up +US$114 for the week. Silver is little-changed at just under US$80.50/oz, up +US$4.50 for the week. American oil prices are little-changed at just under US$95.50/bbl, down -US$7 for the week, while the international Brent price is holding at just over US$101/bbl, down -US$7.50 for the week. The Kiwi dollar is up +10 bps from Saturday, at this time at 59.7 USc, up +70 bps for the week. Against the Aussie we are unchanged at 82.3 AUc. Against the euro we are also unchanged at just on 50.6 euro cents. That all means our TWI-5 starts today at just under 62.9 which is up +10 bps from Saturday but up +40 bps for the week. The bitcoin price starts today at US$81,392 and up +1.6% from this time Saturday. Volatility over the past 24 hours has been low however at just under +/- 0.6%. You can get more news affecting the economy in New Zealand from interest.co.nz. Kia ora. I'm David Chaston and we'll do this again tomorrow.

The Reserve Bank has delivered another interest rate hike, but is the tightening cycle now nearing its end and how concerned should policymakers be about stagflation risks? Host Mandy Drury speaks with CommBank Head of Australian Economics Belinda Allen about the RBA’s latest decision to lift the cash rate to 4.35% and why inflation remains the central concern for policymakers. From rising inflation expectations to the economic impact of the Middle East conflict, they unpack the difficult balancing act facing central banks as growth slows and supply shocks continue to pressure prices. Belinda explains why the RBA now believes it has space to monitor developments from here, what could still trigger another rate hike later this year, and why maintaining credibility on inflation remains critical in a world of rolling economic shocks. She also discusses the risk of stagflation, the outlook for household spending and housing, and whether inflation pressures could prove more persistent than expected. Plus, CommBank’s Harry Ottley shares the key focuses for markets in the week ahead.

Agri Conversations with Sam Conibear: Standing in front of one of Tasmania's primary freight vessels, Sam and I chat about how the global fertiliser shortfall is affecting the state's farmers. The ship pictured behind us is responsible for importing everything from fertiliser to food into Tasmania. Because supply chains are more geographically constrained than on the mainland, many farmers typically pre purchase inputs well ahead of time. While a lot of fertiliser and fuel was locked in before the US–Iran conflict, some producers have still faced sourcing challenges. Tasmanian agriculture is a high input, high output system. Significant investment has gone into irrigation and on-farm infrastructure in recent years, and keeping those investments viable means maintaining high levels of production. Farmers are still using large volumes of fertiliser and fuel, but with a sharper focus than ever on managing margins. Tasmania produces an extraordinary range of agricultural products — from rock lobster and superfine wool to cherries, poppies for morphine production, vegetables, cattle and specialty seeds. It's also a highly export oriented state: much of its beef goes to the US, while a large share of rock lobster and wool ends up in China. P.S. Sam Conibear is CommBank's Executive Manager of Agribusiness in Tasmania.

Anthony Maroon is in with Wade Graham and Josh Reynolds to recap all of the action from round nine. Manly were incredibly valiant in defeat as they went down to a dominant Penrith side at Commbank last night. Foz-ball is no joke, and they look to be genuine top-four chances now. The Knights-Bunnies game had 80 points, and the two stars, Ponga and Mitchell, did not disappoint. Is Spencer Leniu on the outer? We look at the Roosters-Broncos match and some of his bizarre minutes, as well as Staggs’s costly cheap shot. The Tigers lost by 50 and now cannot win the comp. The Warriors are shaping up to be genuine contenders, and Lachie Galvin is playing well-but why are the Bulldogs not?!

Gold Coast winter Olympian and social media sensation Desi Johnson joins the show to talk about her journey from sprinter, to flying down the hill in a bobsleigh! A crazy and unexpected adventure into the unknown for one of the GC’s most exciting upcoming stars. The QLD Government has launched a new campaign called “Operation Interpose” after a horror run on the roads, but no one seems to have actually heard of it. Spida questions whether it’s just another forgettable campaign, especially compared to hard-hitting campaigns like the Grim Reaper. He makes some proposals based on other campaigns like “Drive like your mother is watching,” and the NT’s “C U in the NT”.” Right now, “Operation Interpose” isn’t cutting through, so maybe we get Lara Bingle to reimagine the “where the bloody hell are ya?” The annual LinkedIn review is out for the top 20 places to work in Australia, with CommBank somehow topping the best list - but Liam took things in a very different direction, unveiling his own “investigative journalism” into the bottom five. A new spot called “Somewhere Good” is opening in Surfers Paradise, where you can pour your own pint, sparking a bigger debate about hospitality. Spida drops a huge call, saying service here is terrible and tipping should be brought in, arguing the U.S. does it better. Let’s just say the public is not with him. Leisel somehow snagged a ticket (it’s free…) to the most exclusive event on the Gold Coast – Annastacia Palaszczuk’s book launch at the library! Liam sets a challenge to buy a book to get a copy signed, with a bit of a twist.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The US dollar has long dominated global markets, but is that starting to change and what would it mean for the global economy? Host Mandy Drury speaks with CommBank Senior Economist and Currency Strategist Kristina Clifton about what de-dollarisation really means and why it’s back in focus. From rising geopolitical tensions to renewed pressure on the US Federal Reserve under President Trump, they explore what is driving the debate and how it connects to questions around central bank independence. Kristina explains whether the Fed is likely to maintain its independence and what that means for confidence in the US dollar. She also outlines which currencies could challenge its dominance, and why alternatives like the euro and Chinese yuan face significant hurdles. Plus, CommBank’s Lucinda Jerogin shares the key focuses for markets in the week ahead.

Australia’s consumer spending has remained surprisingly resilient, but early signs suggest that may not last. Host Mandy Drury speaks with CommBank Senior Economist Ashwin Clarke about how households are responding to rising cost pressures linked to the Middle East conflict. From higher petrol prices to broader cost-of-living impacts, they unpack how global shocks are filtering through to everyday spending and business activity. Ashwin explains why household spending has held up so far, supported by savings buffers and a willingness to absorb short-term income shocks. But with sentiment deteriorating, real incomes under pressure and unemployment expected to rise, the outlook is becoming more uncertain. Plus, CommBank’s Dr Hamid Yahyaei shares the key focuses for markets in the week ahead.

Not sitting in a field for once, I caught up with Roddy Brown, CommBank's General Manager for Agribusiness Banking. In this 6‑minute conversation, we discuss insights from Roddy's recent trip across the ditch to New Zealand, along with innovative practices he's seen across rural Australia - including Optiweigh, cattle GPS collars and soil practice improvements. We finish by unpacking which agricultural industries are currently outperforming, and which are doing it tough. This podcast was recorded in late March at the CommBank Cultivate event in the Hunter Valley, which brought together close to 100 cattle producers from around Australia.

Australia’s housing market has remained resilient, but is the strong growth in home prices set to slow as interest rates rise? Host Mandy Drury speaks with CommBank Senior Economist Trent Saunders about how the housing market has evolved and what’s driving price growth across the country. From rising interest rates to strong population growth and ongoing supply constraints, they unpack why conditions vary so widely between capital cities and what’s behind the ongoing pressure in the rental market. Trent explains why price growth is expected to ease into late 2026, and how factors like mortgage rates, population trends and policy changes could shape the outlook. He also explores the potential impact of adjustments to the capital gains tax discount, and what it could mean for housing prices, rents and overall affordability. Plus, CommBank’s John Oh shares the key focuses for markets in the week ahead.

The global economy is facing a new wave of uncertainty, but how much will the Middle East conflict slow growth and push interest rates higher? Host Mandy Drury speaks with CommBank Head of Foreign Exchange, International & Geoeconomics Joseph Capurso about the impact of the conflict on the global outlook, with growth now expected to come in below trend over the next two years. From rising energy prices to uneven impacts across major economies, they explore why Europe, the UK and Japan are more exposed, while the US, China and Canada may prove more resilient. Joseph explains how the surge in oil and gas prices is feeding into inflation, raising the risk that central banks will need to tighten policy further. He also outlines which economies and industries are most exposed to higher energy costs, and what it could mean for households, businesses and the path for global interest rates. Plus, CommBank’s Senior Economist Ryan Felsman shares the key focuses for markets in the week ahead.

The Middle East conflict has entered its second month, but is a resolution any closer or are markets underestimating the risk of a prolonged war? Host Mandy Drury speaks with CommBank Senior Geo-Economics Analyst Dr Madison Cartwright about why a quick end to the conflict remains unlikely despite ongoing claims of progress. From the resilience of the Iranian regime to the lack of alignment between US, Israeli and Iranian objectives, they explore why the conflict risks becoming a drawn-out strategic stalemate. Dr Cartwright explains how disruptions to key energy routes and infrastructure are already impacting oil, gas and broader commodity markets, and why further escalation remains a real risk. He also outlines why a diplomatic solution remains out of reach, what it would take to end the conflict, and why the global economy may continue to feel the impact.

Inflation has become one of the defining challenges for the Australian economy, but why did it take off and has Australia already hit its economic “speed limit”? Host Mandy Drury speaks with CommBank Head of Australian Economics Belinda Allen about how inflation re-accelerated and why the Reserve Bank of Australia had already begun tightening policy even before the latest escalation in the Middle East. From strong demand across households, government and business to constraints on supply, they explore what is driving inflation and how close Australia is to its limits on growth. Belinda unpacks how different geopolitical scenarios, from a quick de-escalation to a prolonged disruption in energy markets, could shape the outlook for the Australian economy. She also explains the role of fiscal policy, and what it all means for the RBA’s next moves. Plus, CommBank’s Lucinda Jerogin shares the key focuses for markets in the week ahead.

In this episode of Cyber Uncut, David Hollingworth and Daniel Croft unpack the week's cyber and AI developments, from local artificial intelligence news to age verification wrinkles, and cyber conflict overspilling from the war in Iran. The pair kick off the podcast discussion by taking a look at the latest AI news out of the Commonwealth Bank, and this time, it's good news, as the bank deployed a pair of security agents. The pair then take a look at the Australian Defence Force and its own work in integrating AI into its battle management programs. After that, it's time for cyber security! The Handala hacking group has turned its gaze far abroad and targeted a medical technology company, disrupting surgeries and supply chains, while a mysterious hacker has targeted a Kiwi healthcare organisation with a bizarre – and disruptive – cyber attack. The pair also discuss the effectiveness of injunctions and how non-publication orders may seem like a useful tool for victims of cyber attacks but are easily ignorable by the criminals themselves. Finally, Hollingworth and Croft finish things up by looking at the rise of VPNs in the wake of new age verification laws and discussing the new sanctions levied against Chinese and Iranian hackers by the European Union. Enjoy, The Cyber Uncut team

The conflict in the Middle East is rattling global energy markets, but how big could the disruption really be? Host Mandy Drury speaks with CommBank Head of Commodities and Sustainable Economics Vivek Dhar about risks to global oil and gas supply as tensions escalate around the Strait of Hormuz.

He also outlines implications for energy prices and risk management in Australia, particularly ahead of the winter season.

Most people want the title of CEO but very few want the weight that comes with it. When you're at the head of Australia's largest bank, Commbank, there's no hiding.

Sometimes that means sitting alone at night reading a 600-page document because if your name is on it...you own it.In this Bite Size, Matt Comyn shares what leadership actually feels like at that level. The pressure. The self-doubt. The constant balancing act when expectations — external and internal — start to tip. And the mental discipline he uses to steady himself before small cracks become big ones.If you lead a team, carry responsibility, or aspire to — this is a rare look at what it really demands.
