1 00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:09,039 Speaker 1: Welcome to Fear and Greed business News. You can use 2 00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:12,440 Speaker 1: today's speculation rises in the share market about the shift 3 00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:15,200 Speaker 1: from investing in the big banks to investing in the 4 00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:18,960 Speaker 1: big resource companies. Foreign Minister Penny Wong says the US 5 00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:22,000 Speaker 1: is keen to schedule a meeting between Prime Minister Anthony 6 00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:27,800 Speaker 1: Abernezi and Donald Trump and Tesla's disappointing sales. Plus Microsoft 7 00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:32,120 Speaker 1: slashes jobs around the world, including in Australia, and Eileen Bond, 8 00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:35,879 Speaker 1: former wife of Alan Bond, dies in Perth. It is Friday, 9 00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:38,760 Speaker 1: the fourth of July twenty twenty five. I'm Michael Thompson 10 00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:42,400 Speaker 1: and good morning, Adam Lang. Good morning, Michael, Adam The 11 00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:45,160 Speaker 1: main story this morning. There is a growing debate among 12 00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:47,839 Speaker 1: investors about the timing of the big switch on the 13 00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:50,559 Speaker 1: AX rotating away from the big banks and into the 14 00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:54,720 Speaker 1: big miners. Investors say there will be a catalyst to 15 00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:59,360 Speaker 1: change sentiment and that could occur at any moment. Bank 16 00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:02,680 Speaker 1: stocks jumped twenty six percent in the twelve months to June, 17 00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:05,759 Speaker 1: helped by a forty five percent rally in Commonwealth Bank 18 00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:09,319 Speaker 1: as superannuation giants, passive funds and offshore managers brought into 19 00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:12,520 Speaker 1: the stock. Buying into Commonwealth Bank took money away from 20 00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:16,080 Speaker 1: the other major sector, being resources, which dropped eight percent 21 00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:19,560 Speaker 1: as the mining behemoths were hit by ongoing weakness in 22 00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:23,039 Speaker 1: China's property market and the iron ore price. There's just 23 00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:25,319 Speaker 1: there's a lot going on here, Michael. 24 00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:28,240 Speaker 2: It's like the changing of the tides. Commonwealth Bank is 25 00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:30,959 Speaker 2: the focus of these discussions. Its share of the s 26 00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:33,759 Speaker 2: and PA SX two hundred has jumped over the past 27 00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:37,160 Speaker 2: year from nine percent to just short of twelve percent, 28 00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:42,520 Speaker 2: and that is significant. According to MST Marquee strategist Hassan Tefvik, 29 00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:45,920 Speaker 2: if CBA were trading at more normal levels, the s 30 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:50,160 Speaker 2: and PA SX two hundred would fall five percent. CBA's 31 00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:52,960 Speaker 2: success has meant that the fund managers who avoided buying 32 00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:55,400 Speaker 2: the stock or held a smaller waiting than the benchmark 33 00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:59,400 Speaker 2: index they would generally have underperformed. Investors still think the 34 00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:03,440 Speaker 2: country's largest company is overpriced. Most investment bank analysts have 35 00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:06,640 Speaker 2: a cell rutting on CBA shares, but it is risky 36 00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:09,840 Speaker 2: just to shy away from it and out of I 37 00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:10,440 Speaker 2: suppose this. 38 00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:14,000 Speaker 1: Is where the resources company catalysts that we're talking about 39 00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:18,040 Speaker 1: before becomes important. Because a renewed push by Beijing to 40 00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:21,920 Speaker 1: tackle Chinese deflationary spiral has helped the local iron are 41 00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:25,000 Speaker 1: miners and others as well, hinting that the rotation into 42 00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:27,760 Speaker 1: miners might be on the way. The spot price of 43 00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:31,200 Speaker 1: iron ore rallied two percent to a three week high yesterday, 44 00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:35,200 Speaker 1: amid reports China's top leadership have promised to crack down 45 00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:41,359 Speaker 1: on quote disorderly price competition between businesses and curb outdated 46 00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:46,320 Speaker 1: industrial capacity. Iron ore prices lifted on expectations that lower 47 00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:50,079 Speaker 1: steel output would improve the profitability of mills. 48 00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:53,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, Michael, every sign that's given here is taking on 49 00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:57,680 Speaker 2: extra significance. We're not able to recommend investments obviously, and 50 00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:00,880 Speaker 2: we do recommend that everyone get their own professional financial advice. 51 00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:03,919 Speaker 2: That is very important to remember. What has happened since 52 00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:06,919 Speaker 2: the news out of Beijing is that investors have piled 53 00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:11,440 Speaker 2: into the mining giants. Yesterday, BHP rose nearly five percent, 54 00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:13,880 Speaker 2: while both three O Tinto and fourty SCU medals were 55 00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:16,840 Speaker 2: one point five percent higher. The big banks, by contrast, 56 00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:19,840 Speaker 2: well they all fell, with a Commonwealth bank losing two percent. 57 00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:22,880 Speaker 2: None of this means the rotation is on. It doesn't 58 00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:25,680 Speaker 2: mean it's happening, but it does demonstrate that many of 59 00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:28,400 Speaker 2: the very large investors are waiting for it to happen 60 00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:30,320 Speaker 2: and are ready to move when it does. 61 00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:32,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, this is interesting to talk about it, and just 62 00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:34,760 Speaker 1: so that you know that when that does happen, everyone's 63 00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:37,520 Speaker 1: watching for that catalyst, that when that does happen, people 64 00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:38,640 Speaker 1: are prepared for it. Right. 65 00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:39,960 Speaker 2: Information is power. 66 00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:42,880 Speaker 1: Indeed it is now, Adam. It was a day for 67 00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:46,000 Speaker 1: profit taking on the share market yesterday, with the run 68 00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:49,080 Speaker 1: in stocks over recent days, particularly the banks and the retailers, 69 00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:52,320 Speaker 1: coming to an end. By the close yesterday, the SMPASX 70 00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:55,400 Speaker 1: two hundred was down just a touch to eight five 71 00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:57,960 Speaker 1: hundred and ninety six points Apart from the cell off 72 00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:00,800 Speaker 1: in the banks, Retailers that had run earlier in the 73 00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:03,200 Speaker 1: week on the hopes of a rate cut also lost ground, 74 00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:07,720 Speaker 1: so JB Hi Fi, West Farmers, Harvey Norman all among 75 00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:08,200 Speaker 1: that group. 76 00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:11,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, Michael. Profit taking is when investors figure that a 77 00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:15,240 Speaker 2: stock run won't go much higher and could indeed fall, 78 00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:17,120 Speaker 2: so they may as well take the money off the 79 00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:20,400 Speaker 2: table now and sell those shares. The winners yesterday were 80 00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:23,560 Speaker 2: the miners after Beijing promised to crack down on disorderly 81 00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:26,479 Speaker 2: low price competition. As you said earlier in the report, 82 00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:30,280 Speaker 2: this was affecting the commodity markets and might indeed lead 83 00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:34,920 Speaker 2: to the phasing out of some industrial capacity. BHP, Rio Tinto, 84 00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:39,000 Speaker 2: and Fortescue Medals all jumped on that. Lithium Minors, Mineral Resources, 85 00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:41,320 Speaker 2: Pilgrim Minerals and Lion Town all. 86 00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:47,160 Speaker 1: Rows enough about markets, Adam, can we talk? Sorry I 87 00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:49,040 Speaker 1: shouldn't say that on a business podcast, but we need 88 00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:51,880 Speaker 1: to talk to you me. No, there's never enough about markets, 89 00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:53,400 Speaker 1: but we need to talk about politics. 90 00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:54,200 Speaker 2: Just brofly. 91 00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:57,440 Speaker 1: It does set the rules for business, Yes, it does. 92 00:04:57,520 --> 00:04:59,560 Speaker 1: Thank you for making me feel better about saying this. 93 00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:04,000 Speaker 1: Foreig A Penny Wong says US Secretary of State Marco 94 00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:08,760 Speaker 1: Rubio is quote keen to reschedule a meeting between Donald 95 00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:12,800 Speaker 1: Trump and Anthony Alberinezi. She said Trump is a very 96 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:16,320 Speaker 1: very busy man, but Rubio made it clear that they 97 00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:19,960 Speaker 1: wanted a meeting. She also downplayed the suggestion that Australia 98 00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:25,000 Speaker 1: could use preferential access to critical minerals as leverage in 99 00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:27,160 Speaker 1: trade talks with the US. I don't know why you 100 00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:29,360 Speaker 1: would downplay that, as if you wouldn't just be leaning 101 00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:31,599 Speaker 1: into something like that we've got something in the US wants, 102 00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:32,440 Speaker 1: let's use it. 103 00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:35,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, Senator Wong pointed out that the US has 104 00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:38,640 Speaker 2: a trade surplus with Australia, going on then to say 105 00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:40,880 Speaker 2: that there's a lot of benefit to the United States 106 00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:44,240 Speaker 2: from the free tariff arrangements that exist under our free 107 00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:47,200 Speaker 2: trade agreement. So there's a lot of I think, pointing 108 00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:50,039 Speaker 2: out of facts without necessarily big statements here. 109 00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:53,240 Speaker 1: Indeed there is. Okay, I'm going to take a quick 110 00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:56,520 Speaker 1: break before we do. Why don't you use this next 111 00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:59,400 Speaker 1: moment or two while they're sitting there just twiddling your thumbs. 112 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:03,400 Speaker 1: Who sign up for the Fear and Greed newsletter if 113 00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:06,320 Speaker 1: you haven't done so already. There's a link in today's 114 00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:09,200 Speaker 1: show notes, and you will get the newsletter every weekday 115 00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:11,640 Speaker 1: morning by six am. And it's basically a cheap sheet 116 00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:14,000 Speaker 1: to help you get ahead for the day and hopefully 117 00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:16,800 Speaker 1: get ahead of both your competitors and your friends, who 118 00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:19,120 Speaker 1: are actually your competitors as well, aren't they Adam. 119 00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:21,600 Speaker 2: Of course, now this is Fear and Greed's own productivity hack. 120 00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:24,640 Speaker 2: Get onto the newsletter. It will set up your day better. 121 00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:27,080 Speaker 1: I like that, all right? Quick break we'll be back 122 00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:37,760 Speaker 1: in a moment with the rest of the day's business news. Adam. 123 00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:42,279 Speaker 1: Almost one hundred and twenty employees in Microsoft's Australian operations 124 00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:44,839 Speaker 1: will lose their jobs as part of a global cull 125 00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:48,359 Speaker 1: of nine thousand staff. It's the second redundancy round to 126 00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:50,360 Speaker 1: hit the company in two months, and it comes as 127 00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:53,840 Speaker 1: the local operations are in a period of transition after 128 00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:57,000 Speaker 1: its local managing director Steven Warrell, who spoke to us 129 00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:59,919 Speaker 1: recently on the podcast Well, he was poached by Telstra 130 00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:06,160 Speaker 1: to run its infrastructure division. Microsoft has not yet appointed 131 00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:08,880 Speaker 1: our successor, so as a fair bit of uncertainty around 132 00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:09,920 Speaker 1: the place at the moment. 133 00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:12,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, Michael, and amongst that news, the new global redundancy 134 00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:17,240 Speaker 2: plan represents just under four percent of Microsoft's global workforce 135 00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:20,040 Speaker 2: and the company plans to apply the percentage job losses 136 00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:22,400 Speaker 2: to each of its country operations. And this is according 137 00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:26,200 Speaker 2: to the Australian Financial Review. Workers in its Xbox division 138 00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:29,640 Speaker 2: and sales staff had been called out as targets, but 139 00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:32,520 Speaker 2: the cuts could also be applied more broadly. In May, 140 00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:36,160 Speaker 2: when Microsoft cut six thousand staff globally, it meant up 141 00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:38,400 Speaker 2: to one hundred staff from its local workforce of just 142 00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:41,320 Speaker 2: under three thousand were set to leave. The new redundancy 143 00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:44,239 Speaker 2: round will claim more than this, probably between one hundred 144 00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:45,920 Speaker 2: and ten and one hundred and twenty workers. 145 00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:51,000 Speaker 1: Now. US casino group Bally's, which we've talked about only 146 00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:53,680 Speaker 1: a few days ago, actually Adam, it's warned that it 147 00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:57,520 Speaker 1: may abandon its rescue deal for Star Entertainment if a 148 00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:01,640 Speaker 1: proposed four hundred million dollar fine from financial crimes watchdog 149 00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:03,200 Speaker 1: OSTRAK is enforced. 150 00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:03,640 Speaker 2: Now. 151 00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:06,480 Speaker 1: The fine relates to years of serious compliance failures and 152 00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:09,800 Speaker 1: alleged money laundering breaches at Star's casinos, with a federal 153 00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:14,000 Speaker 1: court ruling expected later this year. Star has already said 154 00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:16,720 Speaker 1: that a penalty above one hundred million dollars could push 155 00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:21,680 Speaker 1: the company into insolvency, threatening not only the Bally's deal, 156 00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:24,000 Speaker 1: but it's broadest survival as a company. 157 00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:26,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, Michael, to continue what we said earlier in the week. 158 00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:29,920 Speaker 2: This falling Star story carries on. The Australian reports that 159 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:33,000 Speaker 2: Bally's chairman Sue Kim says its three hundred million dollar 160 00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:37,120 Speaker 2: deal is conditional on Star remaining solvent. He's flagged that 161 00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:40,720 Speaker 2: an excessive fine could render the deal unworkable.
