What Mattered Today

The ASX finished the week with its strongest session since April, surging almost 2% on the day after US President Donald Trump suggested a deal with Iran could be signed as soon as this weekend. The move wasn't confined to a handful of stocks with around 85% of ASX 200 companies closing higher on the session. Materials led the charge after suffering heavily in recent weeks, banks bounced strongly following a difficult stretch, while consumer and rate-sensitive sectors continued an impressive recovery that has emerged as bond yields trend lower. The ASX 200 now sits at its highest level in around five weeks.

Question asked 12/06/2026

Garda Property Group (ASX: GDF)

Hi guys, In the context of a SMSF retiree in pension phase seeking consistent annual income, how do you best evaluate GDF. Currently on 8.2% forward yield with a good concentrated property book of only industrial properties and only in Brisbane area. 90% leased, annual lease rises of 3.3%, 4 yr WALE, 37% discount to NTA and that is after very recent independent valuations. No debt repayment for 3 years. Gearing under 30% and they even 'fiddle' with a small lending book to add a few extra bips to the annual yield going forward. Welcome your thoughts and what areas I have missed or should keep an eye on. Cheers david O

Question asked 12/06/2026

Bonds

Hi Guys, Was wanting to get a question to you for tomorrow's edition thinking the deadline is midday, but I am in the West and for some stupid reason was overlooking the fact that we are two hours behind, hoping there might be some leeway. I'm thinking it might be a good time to buy bonds. Not sure what you think about the old idea that the older you are the bigger percentage of your portfolio should be in bonds. I suspect that formula is now suspect. However I'm thinking it could be good to buy some bonds in these uncertain times to lock in the higher yields on offer and then while continuing to receive said yield also benefit in time from bond prices rising if inflation comes off the boil. No doubt certain of your reports have influenced my thinking here. You have mentioned bond ETFs and my question is can you truly lock in a yield with bond ETFs? Presumably they aren't just buying a bond and holding it but rather buying and selling them over time and therefore the yield would follow the direction of the general bond market if you know what I mean. Would also be grateful if you briefly elucidate how one buys bonds. Can you buy them on the ASX as you can ETFs, options etc? Looking forward to hearing your view on this. I appreciated your response to my last question regarding HLI, and as ever am somewhat amazed that you are able to keep on top of so much information. Regards Pietro
