Current Thoughts on the Australian Market
Macro-Focused Market Sentiment
Australian investors are navigating a complex environment shaped by stubborn inflation, global rate uncertainty, and uneven growth in China and the US. While the RBA has paused rate hikes, market participants remain cautious. In this environment, diversification and risk awareness are key themes we continue to observe in the market.
Currency and Interest Rate Developments
The Australian dollar has stabilised following a volatile start to the year, as the RBA maintains a neutral stance. With global markets reassessing the pace of US interest rate cuts, AUD/USD has hovered around 0.655. Clients continue to monitor FX trends in light of macro shifts and commodity cycle momentum.
Investor Sentiment Trends
Recent data shows that institutional and wholesale investors are taking a more cautious stance heading into the second half of 2025. We’re seeing increased interest in market-neutral strategies, yield-bearing instruments, and quality Australian equities amid volatility abroad.
Sector Spotlight: Energy, Resources and Infrastructure
Australian energy and resource equities continue to attract attention as iron ore demand recovers and lithium markets remain in flux. We’re also seeing cautious optimism in the infrastructure and fintech sectors, as investor appetite shifts back to real assets and regulated environments.
