Yesterday I went through the market falls, as China retaliated to the Trump tariffs, even as President Donald Trump ploughed ahead with plans to impose steep new tariffs on imports despite warnings that the policy could trigger economic chaos. Yet only 13 hours after the duties had gone into effect, in a social media post, … Continue reading "RMS Trump Sails On, Having Avoided An Iceberg, For Now…"

I caught up with Robbie Barwick Senate Candidate for VIC and Research Director for The Australian Citizens Party, to discuss Trump, Tariffs, China and importantly what Australia needs to thrive and survive in this uncertain international environment. https://citizensparty.org.au http://www.martinnorth.com/ Details of our one to one service are here: https://digitalfinanceanalytics.com/blog/dfa-one-to-one/ Go to the Walk The World … Continue reading "Australia’s Lifeboat To Avoid RMS Trump: With Robbie Barwick"

Amazed though I am, it appears the LNP has one policy which is so critical it should win the election. I am talking about Gas reverse tariffs. Recall that while East Coast Australia has doubled its gas production over the past decade, the domestic market has been supplied with 25% less gas. This has driven … Continue reading "Gas: One Policy To Rule Them All!…"

This is our weekly market update, where we start in the US, cross to Europe and Asia and end in Australia. This past week was an object lesson in the power of the Bond market. And not for the first time. A favourite quote on markets comes from the former CEO of Citicorp, Walter Wriston, … Continue reading "In A Hyper Financialised World, Bond Markets Rule…"

You can tell an election is close as both major parties have launched their campaigns formally, with Dutton in Western Sydney and Albo in Perth. Recognising that costs of living and housing specifically are haunting younger voters, who now comprise the bulk of voters for the first time, housing was at the heart of both … Continue reading "Con Job: Housing Dog Whistles And Sugar Hits As Election Day Looms!"

As we meet Easter head on, thoughts of course turn to the Chocolate Easter Egg. If you walk round the stores, you will note a few trends. First. Prices are significantly higher than the past couple of years. Second, the size of the eggs are smaller, thanks to shrinkflation, with some items 10% smaller than … Continue reading "What Egg-actly Is Going On With The Incredible Shrinking Easter Egg Scam?"

Australia’s housing crisis is a key issue in this year’s election and as the campaigns run on, yawn, housing remains a central issue, but both major parties are playing games rather than getting to the heart of the issue. So today, I want to go though three cameos which bring out some of the critical … Continue reading "Some Sliding Door Moments On The Fractured Australian Property!"

I caught up with Assoc Prof Andy Schmulow, the NSW Senate Candidate for The Australian Citizens Party, as we did a deep dive into the structural issues which are killing the Australian Economy, and its society; and what can be done about them. The conversation touched on the rigged system which has caused the cost … Continue reading "Meet A Man With A Mission To Save Australia!"

I had a couple of YouTube shows pop up in my feed today which cut to the heart of the economic issues which Australia is facing. Up to now, the critical questions around migration, productivity and gas reservation were really not covered in any depth, indeed, some might say they were deliberately avoided. But now … Continue reading "Finally, Some Of The MSM Are Telling The Economic Truth (Sort Of)…"

Property Insider Edwin and I kick around the latest property and election news, and pull apart the latest numbers. During the show we highlight recent announcements from China about graduates now being pulled into the army, the latest on what people are not moving, despite in some cases pressures to do so, and the latest … Continue reading "Its Edwin’s Monday Evening Property Rant!"

Commonweath Bank was in the news this week, first because of its reported results, and second because of its “draconian” handling of what is called the Know Your Customer or KYC rules. CBA reported a flat cash profit of a $2.6 billion during the third quarter of the 2025 financial year pretty much in line … Continue reading "Are They Banking On Their Own Futures; Not Yours?"
