Investor Insights

I joined Juliette Saly on Ausbiz to discuss the growing risks surrounding the artificial intelligence (AI) boom and whether the billions being invested in infrastructure can deliver sustainable returns. We explored the industry’s reliance on debt-funded hyperscalers and venture capital-backed startups, and how a slowdown in funding could trigger a domino effect across the sector.

In my article for The Australian, I explore why global bond yields continue to rise while equity markets remain largely unfazed. From persistent inflation and geopolitical tensions to growing government debt and artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure spending, several forces are keeping interest rates elevated.

I joined Jess Maguire yesterday afternoon on ABC Statewide Drive to discuss the sharp fall in the Australian share market, rising U. S. bond yields and the pressure higher rates can place on asset prices.

I joined Andrew Geoghegan on Ausbiz to discuss persistent inflation in the U. S. , the impact of rising wages and services costs, and why the Federal Reserve may have limited room to ease rates.

This week, I am back with Nicola and Di for our series Over The Money Fence. This series aims to help you take control of your finances with clarity and confidence.

I joined Jess Maguire on ABC Statewide Drive to discuss rising U. S. interest rates and bond yields, what is driving them, and the potential flow-on effects for Australia. We also explored government debt, artificial intelligence (AI) investment, equity markets and what higher borrowing costs could mean for investors. Listen from 1:43:51 here: ABC Statewide Drive 

I joined Juliette Saly on Ausbiz to discuss rising U. S. bond yields and what higher interest rates could mean for markets. We also explored growing U. S. government debt, competition for capital from the artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure boom, and the warning signs to watch across mortgages, highly leveraged companies and credit markets.

In my recent article for The Australian, I explore the growing competition for capital between the U. S. government and the artificial intelligence (AI) boom. As government borrowing and AI infrastructure spending accelerate, the resulting pressure on bond yields could reshape the investment environment, with important implications for equity valuations and long-duration growth stocks.

In my latest article for The Australian, I look at the growing pressure facing Australian homeowners as rising living costs, higher interest rates and mortgage repayments stretch household budgets. With mortgage stress at its highest level in 18 years, I explore the economic pressures behind the figures and what they could mean for households if conditions remain challenging.

I joined Jess Maguire on ABC Statewide Drive to unpack the key lessons from the 2026 reporting season. We discussed why results were generally better than feared, the importance of revenue growth over cost cutting, the volatility across individual companies, and what the results could signal for the year ahead.

On Ausbiz today, I discussed why the artificial intelligence (AI) boom may be reaching a crossroads. I looked at the enormous capital being deployed by hyperscalers, falling free cash flow and rising depreciation, and why growing competition and higher funding costs could make it increasingly difficult for these companies to generate sufficient returns on their AI investment.

Australia’s FY26 reporting season looked reasonably strong on the surface, with aggregate profits rising by around 11. 6 per cent. But underneath the headline numbers, the recovery was much narrower – and investors were often more interested in what companies said about FY27 than the profits they had just reported.
