Read our latest market update from Andrew Sneddon, CFA below! "As I write, Australia's Matilda's Women's footballers have just triumphed in their FIFA Women's World Cup Match against Denmark to progress to the final stage of the tournament. After a challenging start to the tournament, the Matilda's enter the second half with a newfound optimism and rising expectations. Investors have been on a similar journey in the 2023 year to date, with fears that inflation-taming interest rate hikes by the RBA and other major central banks will either fail to tame inflation (i.e., 'fail to score goals') or tip the global economy into recession (i.e., 'concede goals'). With inflation showing clear signs of deceleration (down to 3% and 6% per cent in the US and Australia, respectively) and recessionary signs muted in both Australia and the United States, investors in 2023 view their proverbial investment scoreboard as 1-0 ahead at halftime. However, investors cannot yet lift the 2023 Cup in triumph. The second half is yet to play out and will likely present considerable risks." #matildas #2023halftime #impact #impactinvesting

Expansions usually end when the economy experiences a shock of some kind... click to read our full market commentary.

 "How Sports Influence Stock Market Development - Analysis of the Connection between Physical Activity and Economic Results" In the world of stock trading and investments, it is important to be aware of all possible factors that could influence market behavior. One of these factors could be sports and physical activity, which can have an unexpected impact on stock market indices and economic indicators. Studies and analyses show that successes in the sports arena can have a positive or negative influence on stock markets, providing investors with inspiration or warning regarding future developments. For example, significant sports events such as the Olympic Games, football championships, or major tournaments may cause short-term fluctuations in markets and also affect the economic outlook. Physical activity and sports can also improve the mental health and well-being of investors, leading to positive decisions in the markets and increased trading activity. Sporting achievements can act as a motivator for investors, bringing them optimism and determination in times of market uncertainty. The relationship between sports and stock markets may be complex but undeniable. It is important to be aware of the impact of sports on the economy and investment decisions and to monitor various trends and events that could influence market behavior. The combination of physical activity and investing can yield interesting results and help investors better understand the dynamics of financial markets.  Josef Anger, the CEO, Owner, and Board Member of #CNBC #CEO #CEOs #Trading #Investing #Finance #Marketanalysis #Bondmarket #Stockexchange #Tradingstrategies #Investmentstrategies #Financialmarkets #Governmentbonds #Fixedincome #Bondtrading #Equitymarket #Investmentportfolio #Riskmanagement #Yieldcurve #Interestrates #Creditrating #Marketvolatility #Bondyield #Treasurybonds #Stocktrading #Bondmarketnews #Investmentanalysis #Markettrends #Economicindicators #Assetallocation #Diversification #Incomestocks #Investmentgrade #Bondvaluation #Stockmarketnews #Bondprices #Marketperformance #Municipalbonds #Tradingplatform #Investmentadvice #Marketdata #Brand #BrandManagement #Financialnews #Yieldtomaturity #Tradingtools #Fixedincomesecurities #Investmentopportunities #Bondstrategy #Tradingcommunity #Bondyields #Equitytrading #Tradingeducation
