The content starved Australian media, and the federal opposition, continue to have conniptions about the when and where of Albo’s Hot Date with Trumpster.
Good grief, Readers should consider what matters for Trumpster and his planet in a galaxy far way: planning for US’ upcoming semiquincentennial (2026), the US budget, Iran, Gaza, tariffs, mass deportations, Taiwan, Ukraine, hourly careful curating of paragraphs on X, and every week-end: week-end golf.
FY-25 in Review: Navigating Markets with Discipline, Diversification and Perspective
The 2025 financial year has been shaped by a dynamic mix of economic shifts, policy recalibration, and geopolitical developments that continue to test established market assumptions.
Looking more broadly, the global economic and political landscape in FY25 has been shaped by significant challenges and unexpected developments. Arguably, the greatest single source of volatility has been the election and early presidency of Donald Trump, whose return to office has unsettled markets and policy norms alike. Many established pillars of economic thinking have been tested, sparking renewed debates over the roles of tariffs, protectionism, and central bank independence. These tensions have played out within an increasingly bipolar geopolitical context, heightening uncertainty and underscoring the value of a resilient, diversified investment approach to navigate the years ahead.
