The COB from ausbizAussie equites take pole position 🏎️It was a case of choose your poison as to why the market closed lower today: a poor US lead, surging bond yields, commodity price drops. There was a range of company news, not all good. Pendal rejected the Perpetual bid on the basis of not being in the interest of shareholders. Iress pulled the pin on divesting its UK mortgage book. Lynas reported record sales in its update, but after a stellar run closed down 2%. Three-year highs in bond yields is the writing on the wall for the “growth at all costs” tech model. However, the bottom of the...2022-04-1208 min

Financial Standard PodcastWhat DDO means for Y-O-UOctober has brought with it a raft of regulatory reforms, and none more important than the design and distribution obligations legislation (DDO) to ensure that financial products meet the needs of consumers and are distributed in a more targeted fashion.

In this episode of Financial Standard, editor Jamie Williamson is joined by Michael Blomfield, chief commercial officer at Iress, to discuss the reality of the DDO regulations in more detail, what financial advisers should be aware of, and how Iress...2021-10-0714 min
The COB from ausbizThe S&P/ASX200 closed lower Friday, dropping 57 points or 0.8% to 7,404 and crossing below its 50-day moving averageThe S&P/ASX200 closed lower Friday, dropping 57 points or 0.8% to 7,404 and crossing below its 50-day moving average. The markets woke up to the new iron ore reality it seems, global spot prices falling again, but only a continuation of the slide that began in earnest from July. China's long flagged cuts to steel output, but the decline of debt-riddled property giant Evergrande and the implications for the steel hungry property market triggered a burst of calculator activity among some of the big brokers. Fortescue Metal's (FMG) lower grade ore almost entirely ends up in Chinese smelters, the share p...2021-09-1715 min
The COB from ausbizThe S&P/ASX200 ended a few points higher on Tuesday, but it's been many moons since I've seen two points as weak and meaningless and deflating as these ones. The S&P/ASX200 ended a few points higher on Tuesday, but it's been many moons since I've seen two points as weak and meaningless and deflating as these ones. The fact is this is an index that recovered to be flat. Some will pin it on the RBA and its 'QE Mullet' (trimmed at the front, extensions at the back) and that's just fine. Also, going ex-dividend is an excellent expression. I myself have gone ex-div several times already today. Following suit on Tuesday were cool sounding companies like Sonic Healthcare (SHL), shedding 2.9% and Bluescope Steel (BSL) down 2.3%. M...2021-09-0712 min
