In my final show from Australia, I consider the latest outlook for the financial system, ahead of decisions from the FED and Bank of England as markets try to navigate the uncertain signals coming to the surface. It may be calmer for now, but the question is, is this the calm before the storm?
And I will be back from the other side of the world in a few days as things progress with more shows on property and finance.

More Market Falls Are Definitely Possible! [Podcast]
Things remain in interesting territory for now as leading indicators are all over the show, and many are betting against the FED which has indicated it is not ready to even consider cutting interest rates any time soon, meantime the US Treasury may have other ideas…
U.S. Treasury yields a year from now are forecast to trade sharply lower than the level expected by bond strategists polled by Reuters just one month ago, underscoring how much financial markets have diverged this year from the central bank’s view.
While the U.S. economy grew at an annualised 2.9% in the final quarter of last year, it is clearly losing momentum. Market traders and policymakers differ on the severity of the coming downturn, as well as the likely policy response.

Bonds Are Betting Against The Fed - And The Treasury? [Podcast]
At the end of the year, we can look back and pick over the coals of the old and look ahead to the new. But of course, it’s an artificial delineation, and the forces mustering at the end of the old year such as recession risk, rising interest rates in response to inflation, Ukraine and COIVD all are still in play.
Remember U.S. stocks just polished off their worst year since 2008 with a loss on Friday, bringing the year-to-date decline for the S&P 500 to 19.4%, its largest calendar-year drop since 2008. The only years where stocks fared worse were 2002, 1974 and 2008. The same holds true for the Dow Jones Industrial Average, which shed 8.8% this year, and the NASDAQ Composite, which lost 33.1%.
As previously high-flying megacap technology stocks and other interest-rate sensitive assets crumbled, value stocks outperformed this year, sending the Dow to its biggest calendar-year out-performance vs. the NASDAQ since 2000. The blue-chip gauge also recorded its biggest out-performance vs. the S&P 500 since the index’s creation. Energy stocks were a lone bright spot, as the S&P 500 energy sector recorded its best year on record with a 59% gain.
