Is the Trump Rally coming to an end?…

•By Matthew Smith
  • With all the goodwill around the world, there is sadly little relief in sight in the Middle East and Ukraine right now.
  • The US election result has produced a “Trump Rally” on markets, with the S&P 500 hitting new all-time high on Tuesday and recording +25.34% year to date. The NASDAQ is also up +27.77% year to date. Compare this to our markets, which are being weighed down by lower commodity prices; year to date, the S&P/ASX 200 is at +8.75% and the Metals and Mining Index at -15.4%.
  • China’s latest action to stimulate its economy was less than hoped for and commodity prices reacted accordingly. Oil is near $US68 a barrel, Iron Ore below $US100 a metric ton, and Gold below $US2,600 per oz.
  • The Aussie dollar is at US.652c.
  • The East coast property market is continuing to contract, with The Fin Review reporting that house prices have fallen in 40% of Sydney suburbs. In Melbourne, the share of suburbs where house values dropped in the past three months blew out to 76.3%.
  • While closer to home, our market is faring better but showing signs of moderating with the number of houses available for sale increasing.

    Is it a market “melt-up”?

    There is still little clarity on the geopolitical front. The S&P 500 hit another all-time high and closed above 6,300 for the first time yesterday. Sell signals are starting to flash as valuations are stretched (26 times forward earnings!). Having successfully sold a business to a NASDAQ-listed company in 1998, I … Read more
