The US government shutdown is now in its 25th day but, as Phil Dobbie discusses with NAB’s Tapas Strickland, the direction of the global economy is a bigger concern. China’s export and import figures were well below target yesterday, and Europe delivered very weak industrial figures too. So, can Australia expect to avoid a slowdown, if it is happening? And what of Brexit – within 24 hours Theresa May is likely to have her plan voted down in parliament. Is a second referendum now looking like the most likely outcome or will she manage to get a revised plan agreed?

Get ready for a busy week. As NAB’s Ray Attrill discusses with Phil Dobbie, the shutdown impacting parts of the US government remains, the passing of Theresa May’s meaningful vote on Brexit seems unlikely, and negative data from Europe has some wondering whether the region is already in recession. Yet, despite all the doom and gloom there seems some optimism in the markets – why is that?

Monday 7th January 2019

It was far from a quiet Christmas period, with volatility driven by data, trade concerns, a government shutdown and a very different attitude coming from the US Fed. To add more excitement, we saw a flash crash in the Aussie dollar last week. Phil Dobbie talks to NAB’s Ray Attrill about what’s happened over the last couple of weeks and what to look out for in the week ahead.

Monday 24th December 2018

2018 has been a year of surprises. The sentiment was positive until October, when equities started to turn, signs of weakness developed within Europe and trade tensions grew between the US and China. Since then we’ve seen equities wipe out the year’s gains, oil has fallen sharply with OPEC failing to counter it and in Australia the dollar lost ground and we pushed back expectations for rate hikes from the RBA. In this final edition of The Morning Call for the year, Phil Dobbie talks to NAB’s Ray Attrill, Rodrigo Catril and David de Garis about the year we had, and what we can expect in 2019.

We’ll be back in early in the new year. In the meantime, enjoy the holiday season and thanks for listening in 2018.
