Investors' exuberance is fueling this year's stock rally, but will key economic risks dampen the market's mood? The current bull run has lifted stocks from their springtime lows to higher levels in autumn. The artificial intelligence boom is one of the big factors driving it.

The big bet is helping feed two simple narratives about the AI era, according to Dan Kemp, chief research and investment officer at Morningstar Investment Management Europe.

Recent comments from Federal Reserve Chairman Powell suggest potential interest rate cuts, beginning in September. Meanwhile, the S&P 500 index has returned 30% since its April low, and the Dow Jones Industrials Average made a new high for the first time this year. The Shanghai Composite index has conclusively broken multi-year resistance. On the surface it's driven by sentiment only, but China's 10-year government bond yield bottomed in January and has been building a base since then. Government bond yields are often lead indicators. Additionally, a survey also shows a shift in consumer opinions, from very pessimistic to less pessimistic. In other developments, Singapore has replaced Thailand as Southeast Asia's largest economy.

Global markets have rallied following Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell's dovish speech on Friday that opened the door to interest rate cuts. In response, stocks, bonds, gold, and crypto assets surged, while the US dollar has fallen. Asian equity markets are following Wall Street this morning, led by shares in Hong Kong. The US government will acquire a 9.9% stake in Intel. Looking ahead to the week, key events include Nvidia's earnings report on Wednesday after the market close, as well as crucial inflation data releases on both sides of the Atlantic on Friday. According to Mensur Pocinci, Head of Technical Analysis Research, market breadth indicators in the US and Europe suggest further stock market gains are likely through to the end of the year.(00:00) - Introduction: Bernadette Anderko, Product & Investment Content (00:28) - Markets wrap-up: Mike Rauber, Product & Investment Content (06:20) - Technical Analysis update: Mensur Pocinci, Head of Technical Analysis (09:55) - Closing remarks: Bernadette Anderko, Product & Investment Content Would you like to support this show?

Is the 60/40 portfolio living up to its reputation of resilience this year? The merit of a classic portfolio of 60% stocks and 40% bonds has been a matter of debate in recent years. A diversified 60/40 strategy failed to protect investors in 2022's broad market crash—in fact, an all-stock portfolio would have held up better. However, a historical deep dive from Morningstar concluded that the tried-and-true approach lessened the pain in almost all of the worst market crashes in 150 years better than an all-stock portfolio. Morningstar Inc Portfolio Strategist Amy Arnott discusses the 60/40 portfolio's ups and downs and its performance in 2025.On this episode:What is a 60/40 portfolio, and why is it popular? We often hear claims that the 60/40 portfolio is “dead” or obsolete. Why does it get criticized so much? Some of that criticism flared up in 2022. Why was the performance so bad for the 60/40 portfolio that year? Volatility has rocked the markets in 2025. How has the classic investment strategy done so far this year? Are there any asset classes that have performed better so far in 2025? Why? And which ones have struggled? Interest rates are sitting above 4%, but market watchers are anticipating the Federal Reserve will cut rates in September. What could that mean for the fixed-income part of the 60/40 portfolio? How do you think the 60/40 portfolio will perform over the next few years? Should people still rely on the 60/40 portfolio, or is another strategy better like the 70/30 or 50/30/20, which can be a mix of stocks, bonds, and alternatives? The tried-and-true strategy has proved its worth. So, what's the final takeaway for current retirees, future retirees, or anyone seeking less risk?Read about topics from this episode.  The 60/40 Portfolio: A 150-Year Markets Stress TestIs the 60/40 Portfolio Feeling '22?What We've Learned From 150 Years of Stock Market CrashesHow Does Your 60/40 Portfolio Allocation Compare With the Pros?Why 2025 Is the Year to Invest in International StocksWhy It's Not Too Late to Add International ExposureWhy Holding Assets Outside the US Dollar Has Paid Off in 2025How to Use Gold in Your PortfolioPortfolio Diversification Is Winning in 2025 What to watch from Morningstar. These 16 Standout Funds Are Making Big Bets.

In this episode, REB journalist Emilie Lauer sits down with PRD chief economist Dr Diaswati Mardiasmo to unpack the current state of Australia's property market and spotlight the most affordable, liveable suburbs. The duo starts the episode by exploring the market's response to the previous interest rate cuts and how they've impacted demand, supply, and property prices. Asti said that while the first cut had minimal effect, the second led to a modest rise in auction clearance rates, building momentum for future cuts. The duo then turns to PRD's latest report, identifying affordable suburbs within 20 kilometres of the capital city CBDs. Asti said affordable suburbs are defined as those below capital city median prices but still offer strong liveability, based on factors like low crime, access to infrastructure, and new housing supply. The report also considers rental yields, appealing to both owner-occupiers and investors. In Sydney, suburbs like Guildford and Punchbowl stand out, while Melbourne offers more affordable options in areas such as St Albans and Maribyrnong. While units remain more affordable than houses, Asti noted that the price gap has narrowed, signalling growth potential across both asset types. Did you like this episode?

Interest rates are falling again. After years of rate hikes, mortgage stress, and a cooling economy, the RBA has now dropped interest rates for the second time this cycle and there are more rate cuts to come. But what does this actually mean? Is the worst behind us—or is this a sign of deeper cracks in the economy? In today's Big Picture episode, I'm joined again by leading financial commentator Pete Wargent as we unpack the macroeconomic forces shaping our housing markets and the financial outlook for Australians. Of course, the headline is the Reserve Bank's decision to cut rates on May 20. But there's so much more going on behind the scenes—consumer spending is tanking, the construction sector is in crisis, our population is booming while new housing approvals are plummeting, and unemployment is quietly starting to rise. We also explore whether this rate cut will fire up another round of property price growth, how investors are likely to respond, and whether inflation could make an unwelcome return. Plus, we'll take a step back and look at the global context—what's happening with the US Federal Reserve, China's economy, and what all of this means for you as a property investor, business owner, or just someone trying to make sense of the chaos. So whether you're wondering if now is the right time to buy property, refinance, or simply want to stay ahead of the curve, you're in the right place.   Takeaways  ·         Market signals indicate a turning point in property investment. ·         Falling interest rates are expected to boost consumer confidence. ·         The narrative we tell ourselves can limit our potential. ·         First home buyers are likely to enter the market soon. ·         Melbourne's population growth poses significant infrastructure challenges. ·         Consumer confidence is crucial for property market recovery. ·         The housing market is facing a significant shortage of supply. ·         Government policies need to align with housing demand. ·         Long-term investment strategies are essential for success. ·         Understanding market trends is key to making informed decisions.   Chapters    00:00 Global Economic Trends and Interest Rates 04:40 Impact of Interest Rate Cuts on Consumer Confidence 10:17 Investor Loans and Market Indicators 15:35 Consumer Confidence and Economic Resilience 18:32 Challenges in Housing Supply and Development 23:48 The Future of Rental Markets and Social Housing 31:50 The Turning Point in Property Investment   Links and Resources:   Metropole's Strategic Property Plan – to help both beginning and experienced investors Get a bundle of free reports and eBooks – www.PodcastBonus.com.au  Pete Wargent's blog Pete Wargent's new book, The Buy Right Approach to Property Investing Pete's other book – The New Wealth Way Get a bundle of free reports and eBooks – www.PodcastBonus.com.au  Also, please subscribe to my other podcast Demographics Decoded with Simon Kuestenmacher – just look for  Demographics Decoded wherever you are listening to this podcast and subscribe so each week we can unveil the trends shaping your future.
