OPINION

Latest Market Matters Opinions

08/09/2026 16:52

The ASX had a rough one today, falling to its lowest close in six weeks in what was the index's biggest daily fall since June. The sell-off was broad as rising oil prices, weak consumer sentiment and increasingly hawkish RBA expectations weighed on sentiment.

Question asked 04/09/2026

AAIG IPO

I note in an earlier article (29/22/2024) that there was some interest in pursuing a class action against AAIG with regards to their advertised IPO. It seems that I too was also stooged and am now seeking options to recover my investment. Is there a mailing list or forum through which I can make contact with investors in the same position as myself to ascertain where I stand and what options are available to me.

Question asked 04/09/2026

Is MM holding Bank Hybrids till the redemption date?

Is MM planning on holding the Bank Hybrids you have in the Income Portfolio to the redemption date? I have several Bank Hybrids in my super and my stockbroker is suggesting I should consider selling them while they are above par and put the money into other fixed interest assets like corporate bonds. When and where will you move your Bank Hybrid money to?
