Oliver's insights Investment outlook Q&A - AMP

This note takes a look at some of the main questions investors have in a simple Q&A format, particularly around tariffs, the RBA and gold.

Weekly market update - 07-02-2025 - AMP

The week was dominated by ongoing announcements from the Trump administration. After only being in office for 2½ weeks Trump and his team have been busy making changes (not including legislation which requires votes from the House and Senate) and appear much more coordinated compared to 2017. This week’s changes included everything from tariffs (more on that below), Elon Musk’s D.O.G.E department shedding Federal workers, a dismantling in USAID and Trumps plans for the US to rebuild Gaza.

An update on the AI sector

Weekly market update - 31-01-2025 - AMP

Global shares were mixed over the last week. US shares fell 1% as tech shares fell on the back of the rise of DeepSeek’s AI app and a less dovish Fed and Trump’s tariff vows weighed. Japanese shares fell 0.9%, but Eurozone shares rose 1.3% to a record high helped by a dovish rate cut from the ECB. Australian shares also surged to a record high on the back of expectations for a February rate cut after lower-than-expected inflation data helped by the market’s low exposure to AI related tech stocks.

Oliver's Insights - Trump tariffs (and deals) – implications for investors and Australia - AMP

Trump has followed through with his threat since last November to impose 25% tariffs on Canada (except energy which is 10%) and Mexico and a 10% tariff on China. This was originally set for a 4th February start. But with Trump agreeing to a one month delay to the tariffs on Canada Mexico subject to border and drug conditions, its possible a deal may be reached to avert or cut the tariffs, but uncertainty around them and the threat of other tariffs means market volatility will likely remain high.
