Trading in the New Economy

A wild week in markets produced no shortage of scary headlines.   In this update, Garry Davis explains why investors should be careful about jumping to conclusions too quickly, and why calm, rational analysis still matters most when volatility rises. Watch on YouTube This week’s update steps back from the noise and focuses on what actually changed, what did not, and what investors should watc...

The AI trade has entered a new phase. Micron has helped prove that AI infrastructure demand is real, but the market is now asking a harder question: which companies can turn that demand into genuine economic returns?

Tech is still leading, commodities are under pressure, and the US dollar has just added a new complication. That makes this a useful time to step back and ask whether your portfolio is still balanced for the market in front of you, not the market you would prefer to see.

It’s been one of the wildest weeks many investors will have seen for some time, with sharp swings in sentiment leaving plenty of people wondering what comes next.

Markets are pricing a relatively positive outcome from the US-Iran conflict, but what happens if peace does not come quickly? This week I look at the Strait of Hormuz, global supply chain risk, energy uncertainty, inflation pressure, and why the next few weeks may be important for markets. At the same time, the US technology sector continues to surge, with AI-related earnings and capital expenditu...

The US market continues to push higher, with the S&P 500, Nasdaq and Russell 2000 all showing strong momentum. But the ASX is lagging, and Australian investors need to understand why. This week, I look at the earnings strength driving US markets, the sectors showing leadership, and why the Australian market is struggling to keep pace. For the full experience, watch the YouTube video at  h...

Middle East risk remains unresolved, energy security is still a serious issue, and many investors are struggling to reconcile the headlines with what markets are actually doing. But the weight of money is making a major statement. In this week’s update, I look at the strength in the NASDAQ, the role of semiconductors, the earnings support behind many US stocks, and the key signals that could trigg...

Forget logic. Right now, that may be one of the most important investing lessons. The market is doing what it often does at major turning points: ignoring the headlines and following the money. While the macro backdrop still looks uncertain, price action in the US has remained incredibly strong, and that tells us something important.

Markets may be at a significant pivot point and we've been buying for several weeks in the Insiders Club, but that does not mean investors should throw discipline out the window. What matters now is not reacting emotionally to every headline. It is identifying where money is flowing, understanding which businesses are largely immune from the bigger picture risks we cannot control, and then acting...

There is a major threat to Australian investors that most people are still underestimating. In this follow up to Sunday’s market update, I go deeper into why Australia’s energy vulnerability could become a serious drag on parts of the share market, and why investors need to think differently if they want to protect capital and stay positioned for opportunity. For the full experience, watch the You...

This week’s market update tackles an issue I believe many Australian investors are still underestimating. Australia is an energy exporter, but we are also heavily dependent on imported fuel. That leaves large parts of the economy exposed in a way that could flow through to company earnings, even if the current conflict eases faster than expected. For the full experience, watch the YouTube video at...

The market has now broken more decisively, and while that is uncomfortable for many investors, it may also be moving us closer to a better low risk window. In this week’s update, I explain why this shift matters, why opportunity does not disappear in falling markets, and why mindset is so important when fear starts to dominate the narrative. For the full experience, watch the YouTube video at&nbsp...

Markets like this are where most investors get pulled furthest away from good decision-making. When volatility spikes and headlines dominate, the natural temptation is to either freeze or try to predict the exact bottom. I think both approaches miss the point. What matters far more is having a repeatable process: knowing how to assess risk, how to think about bottom formations, and how to identify...

Recent market volatility and the headlines around the US-Iran war have understandably rattled investors. But does this really change the long term opportunity set, or is it another period where fear is creating better entry points for quality stocks? In this week’s update, I explain why I believe investors need more perspective right now, what past market shocks can teach us, and why trying to sel...

The dominant narrative right now is fear. War headlines, sharp reversals, heavy commodity volatility and plenty of noise from the media. But that does not automatically mean investors are looking at a systemic market breakdown. In this week’s update, I explain why a lot of what we are seeing still fits the normal early signature of wartime markets. There is forced selling. There is rotation. There...

When markets are driven by headlines, prediction becomes the enemy. My focus is money flow first, fundamentals second. Price tells you where capital is actually moving. The goal is not to be right about geopolitics. The goal is to be aligned with the dominant flow, with clear risk defined if the market disagrees. Markets often react in two phases: an initial risk-off impulse, then a reassessment o...

Markets are dealing with a rare mix of uncertainty drivers, and tariff headlines are back in play. In this environment, prediction is a fast way to get whipsawed. The key is to recognise the two-speed market early: stay with leadership, avoid the weak that keep failing, and build a target list so you can act when the next high probability setups appear. I also cover why gold and silver are startin...

When volatility rises, most investors look for a story to make them feel certain. That’s understandable, but it’s also where people get trapped. The market is forward-looking, and when the pace of change accelerates, the narrative can lag badly. So the strategy is to simplify: focus on the weekly trend, respect where the money is flowing now, and adjust weightings accordingly. Fundamentals still m...

In 2021 and into 2022 we saw leadership roll over, relative strength relationships deteriorate, and risk preferences rotate toward defensives. I’m seeing similar “warning type” behaviour in key ratios again. That does not guarantee the same outcome, but it does tell me the weight of evidence has shifted and we should stay selective. We have had an aggressive unwind fuelled by leverage and margin c...

Friday’s sell off was a shock to the system, and it matters because confidence just broke. When that happens, markets often shift into volatile, stop start conditions. The goal is not to predict the next headline. The goal is to follow a process so you can protect capital and be ready for the opportunity this reset can create. For the full experience, watch the YouTube video at  https://www.y...

Markets are facing an unusual cocktail right now: geopolitical flashpoints, bond market stress, and plenty of headline risk. Yet price action has stayed surprisingly calm, and that matters. In this week’s update I explain why this can be a bullish signal, what I’m watching beneath the indices, and how I think about rotation, selectivity, and risk control when conditions are constructive. For the f...

A major rotation in global capital has been driving powerful moves across commodities, and the opportunity looks likely to keep unfolding through 2026. The key is not the headline. It’s having a plan, reading the money flows, and managing volatility properly.
