Let's go story number one. 8 00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:22,200 Speaker 1: The local share market fell to a six week low 9 00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:26,160 Speaker 1: yesterday as Wall Streets tech titans tumbled and other asset 10 00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:30,440 Speaker 1: classes including bitcoin and gold dropped as investors get a 11 00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:32,680 Speaker 1: little bit nervous about high valuations. 12 00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:36,080 Speaker 2: Was what you call bloodbath, but there was really selling 13 00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:39,479 Speaker 2: everywhere on the back of a fairly disparate bunch of events. 14 00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:43,320 Speaker 2: Looking locally first, mining stocks pushed the local share market 15 00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:46,239 Speaker 2: to a six week low yesterday. There were media reports 16 00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:49,600 Speaker 2: out of the development of an iron or reserving guinea 17 00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:52,480 Speaker 2: that would certainly hurt the local miners. Local tech stocks 18 00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:54,680 Speaker 2: were also sold off following a selldown of Wall Street 19 00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:58,440 Speaker 2: megacaps that meet it renewed concerns about valuations. So in 20 00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:02,360 Speaker 2: index of the magnificent tech stocks and video Microsoft, Apple, Meta, Amazon, Alphabet, 21 00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:05,280 Speaker 2: and Tesla fell about two percent. The prospect of no 22 00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:07,720 Speaker 2: more rate cuts in Australia following the Reserve Bank boards 23 00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:10,959 Speaker 2: meeting on Monday and Tuesday also weighed on equities now 24 00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:13,000 Speaker 2: during the day yesterday, the market fell by as much 25 00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:15,800 Speaker 2: as half a percent. Paired BACKBOSE losses closed down slightly 26 00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:18,679 Speaker 2: to weight thousand, eight hundred and two points. Many investment 27 00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:20,440 Speaker 2: analysts have warned of a bumpy end of the year. 28 00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:24,400 Speaker 2: What's emerging is just a higher aversion to risk. There 29 00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:28,200 Speaker 2: are concerns over tech company valuations and receiving expectations of 30 00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:30,520 Speaker 2: rate cuts both here and in the US. 31 00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:34,280 Speaker 1: What about bitcoin sean that fell below one hundred thousand 32 00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:37,560 Speaker 1: US dollars a unit for the first time since June. 33 00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:40,119 Speaker 1: Gold fell, oil fell as well. 34 00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:43,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, Bitcoin dropped to under ninety seven thousand US dollars 35 00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:44,640 Speaker 2: a market came back a bit, but it was down 36 00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:47,480 Speaker 2: about twenty percent from its peak of last month. Ethereum, 37 00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:50,440 Speaker 2: the number two crypto, off about thirty six percent since 38 00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:53,200 Speaker 2: its peak. Markets are fickle to say the least, but 39 00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:55,960 Speaker 2: in recent days just a sense a little bit of 40 00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:59,120 Speaker 2: overvalue in going on. Even gold, the ultimate safe haven's 41 00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:01,360 Speaker 2: been caught up. It's down thirty nine hundred US dollars, 42 00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:04,760 Speaker 2: an ounce bents down, a real sense of uneasy financial 43 00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:05,600 Speaker 2: markets at the moment. 44 00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:07,960 Speaker 1: All right, let's move on to story number two and 45 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:11,079 Speaker 1: the boss of the Corporate Regulator, Joe Longo, yesterday said 46 00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:14,839 Speaker 1: that Australia's financial markets need to innovate or stagnate, and 47 00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:18,799 Speaker 1: private credit in this country faces its own Minsky moment, 48 00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:22,040 Speaker 1: suggesting that a market collapses a real possibility. 49 00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:24,840 Speaker 2: Yes, a Menski moment is a sudden collapse of the 50 00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:28,600 Speaker 2: market following a period of speculative investing involving big amounts 51 00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:32,040 Speaker 2: of don't think GFC. Longo said the private credit sector 52 00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:34,079 Speaker 2: is still small. There's time to act, but he put 53 00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:38,080 Speaker 2: it on notice to improve industry practices otherwise face legislation. 54 00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:40,440 Speaker 2: Longo is speaking at the National Press Club after the 55 00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:43,680 Speaker 2: release of four research reports into public and private markets. 56 00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:46,280 Speaker 2: He said Australia needs to consider when a company is 57 00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:49,760 Speaker 2: public or private and the rules for each. He pondered, 58 00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:52,040 Speaker 2: why buy tech company with less than ten million dollars 59 00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:55,040 Speaker 2: in turn over that's listed should have the same compliance 60 00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:57,920 Speaker 2: as BHP and more than City Airport which is now 61 00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:00,240 Speaker 2: a private company. Good questions? 62 00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:04,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, okay. Story number three. Goodman Group has reported a 63 00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:08,320 Speaker 1: solid September quarter, and the data center and commercial property 64 00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:11,559 Speaker 1: groups development activity is set to accelerate in the second. 65 00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:14,239 Speaker 2: Half, but Boss Greg Goodman warned that it's getting harder 66 00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:16,680 Speaker 2: to build data centers, notwithstanding all the tens of billions 67 00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:18,720 Speaker 2: of dollars being thrown around. When asked about the big 68 00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:22,360 Speaker 2: tech companies putting money into AI infrastructure, Goodman said, there's 69 00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:25,200 Speaker 2: not enough money in the world to finance the aspirations, 70 00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:27,320 Speaker 2: and that's the reality that needs to be a bit 71 00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:30,240 Speaker 2: more common sense in building good, long term products. The 72 00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:33,440 Speaker 2: group reported twelve point four billion dollars of work in progress, 73 00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:35,680 Speaker 2: more than two thirds of that is in data centers, 74 00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:38,520 Speaker 2: and that's growing. Goodman's share price was down yesterday. A 75 00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:41,720 Speaker 2: few years back, Goodman was absolute star performer hot stock 76 00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:44,840 Speaker 2: steams come out. Goodman is off twelve percent so far 77 00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:47,360 Speaker 2: this year, one of the worst performing large gaps of 78 00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:50,000 Speaker 2: the top fifty stocks over the last twelve months. Only 79 00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:52,640 Speaker 2: Weistech Global James Hardy in CSL have done worse. 80 00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:59,160 Speaker 1: All right, story number four. What's been described sean as 81 00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:02,640 Speaker 1: a judgment on the performance of Republican President Donald Trump. 82 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:06,080 Speaker 1: Polls in New York City, New Jersey and Virginia have 83 00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:09,320 Speaker 1: all been won by Democrats, while the vote in California 84 00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:11,040 Speaker 1: sided with the democrats proposal. 85 00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:15,080 Speaker 2: The highest profile was the mayoral mayoral election in New 86 00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:18,719 Speaker 2: York City, where thirty four year old Zorin ma'm Dani, 87 00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:21,039 Speaker 2: a Muslim whom Donald Trump has been highly critical of, 88 00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:23,240 Speaker 2: was voted the youngest mayor of the city in more 89 00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:26,400 Speaker 2: than one hundred years. More than two million voters cast 90 00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:28,880 Speaker 2: a ballot, the highest turnout in the city since nineteen 91 00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:34,320 Speaker 2: sixty nine. In California, voters agreed to a redistricting effort 92 00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:37,120 Speaker 2: intended to partially neutralize a push by Trump to draw 93 00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:41,000 Speaker 2: up more safe Republican seats before next year's midterm elections, 94 00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:44,040 Speaker 2: and in New Jersey. In Virginia, Democrat governors were elected. 95 00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:46,800 Speaker 2: In the case of Virginia, the previous governor was a Republican, 96 00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:49,560 Speaker 2: so Democrats made significant inroads across that state. There was 97 00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:52,520 Speaker 2: also a vote in Pennsylvania, where Democrats kept control of 98 00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:55,600 Speaker 2: the state Supreme Court. Undoubtedly a bad date for Republicans, 99 00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:58,760 Speaker 2: Donald Trump tweeted, of course, he said, I quote Trump 100 00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:01,320 Speaker 2: wasn't on the ballot and shut down were the two 101 00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:06,720 Speaker 2: reasons that Republicans lost elections tonight. All right, story number five, 102 00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:10,240 Speaker 2: last one. I think this one's incredible. Sean scientists have 103 00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:15,000 Speaker 2: uncovered structural heart problems by using an artificial intelligence tool 104 00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:18,800 Speaker 2: to vet smart watch data and the latest event advance 105 00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:23,400 Speaker 2: rather in the fast evolving field of cardiology diagnostics. The 106 00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:27,480 Speaker 2: new technique found conditions included weakened pumping ability, damaged vewel 107 00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:30,000 Speaker 2: from thick and muscle, promising to expand the potential of 108 00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:34,239 Speaker 2: wearable devices beyond detecting rhythm disorders. The work uses simple 109 00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:37,560 Speaker 2: readouts of heart electrical activity that can be recorded by 110 00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:40,840 Speaker 2: smart watchers without the need for extra equipment. According to 111 00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:44,000 Speaker 2: the ft, the preliminary study was unveiled at the American 112 00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:48,120 Speaker 2: Heart Association's annual Scientific Sessions and according to its authors, 113 00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:51,800 Speaker 2: has the potential to transform structural heart disease screening in communities. 114 00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:54,520 Speaker 2: It could make early screening for structural heart disease possible 115 00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:57,800 Speaker 2: on a large scale using device as many people already 116 00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:01,000 Speaker 2: own smart watch heart datas or used to spot warning 117 00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:05,800 Speaker 2: signs for atrial fibrillation and irregular rhythm, but could do 118 00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:06,360 Speaker 2: much more. 119 00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:08,840 Speaker 1: All right, there we go to the top five business 120 00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:10,480 Speaker 1: stories in five minutes.
