In this episode, we discuss how gold is the talk of markets, moving significantly higher over the past two years.

As governments continue to print more money, investors are looking for opportunities to move their money into hard assets.

While hard assets are seen as an inflation hedge, so are real assets. Read the full note at https://www.peteresho.com/p/comparing-gold-to-australian-residential

In this week's episode, we look at the US government shutdown, which is making headlines again. It grabs attention, but let’s cut through the noise.

Shutdowns are theatre. They don’t change the fundamentals overnight, but they do show us how fragile the system has become.

The US runs on debt. Each year the ceiling gets lifted. Each year the debate gets nastier.

Shutdowns are the symptom of a bigger problem: an economy built on borrowed money with no political consensus on how to fix it.

That matters more than the shutdown itself.

Markets usually shrug these events off. Equities bounce back once a deal is done. But repeated dysfunction eats away at confidence.

The real story is in bond yields. Investors see a government unable to manage its balance sheet, so they demand higher returns to lend money.

That’s why yields have been rising, and why the US dollar stays strong in the short run but vulnerable in the long run.

For Australia, this isn’t abstract. Higher US yields set the tone for our own rates. The RBA can’t ignore what happens in Washington. Mortgage costs rise. Investment flows adjust. Capital gets repriced.

The lesson for investors: don’t get distracted by the noise of shutdown headlines. Focus on the signal. Rising debt costs. Shifting capital flows.

A global economy that is being repriced as the cost of money climbs. These are the changes that will shape property, credit, and wealth creation over the next decade.

In this episode, sponsored by Flexdoc, we look at the Australian government's new climate targets.

The plan is bold: cut emissions by 62–70 per cent by 2035, while holding firm on the 43 per cent cut by 2030 and net zero by 2050.

These numbers aren’t just about the environment. They are about money, jobs, and long-term growth.

To hit the targets, Canberra is putting billions on the table. A $5 billion Net Zero Fund will help heavy industry decarbonise.

A further $2 billion goes to the Clean Energy Finance Corporation to back renewables, storage, and clean fuels.

The Safeguard Mechanism will tighten on large emitters. Incentives are flowing into solar, wind, batteries, and low-carbon fuels like sustainable aviation fuel.

The economics are clear. Treasury modelling shows that if the transition is managed well, the economy could be $2.2 trillion larger by 2050.

Every Australian could be $36,000 better off on a per-person basis. But if the shift is delayed and messy, GDP per person could be $2,100 lower. The stakes are high.

For investors and entrepreneurs, the opportunity is real. Industry upgrades, renewable deployment, and new transmission lines will demand capital.

Clean fuel production and supply chains will open new markets. Local manufacturing of technology and equipment will be a growth story.

This is not just an environmental plan. It is an economic bet. One that reshapes where capital will flow over the next two decades.

The government has signalled where it will back winners. Investors who move early, with clarity and conviction, will have the chance to ride the upside of Australia’s $2 trillion energy bet.

In this episode, sponsored by Flexdoc, we discuss the slowdown in the US economy and what it means for property investors here in Australia.

The latest data shows US job growth cooling, unemployment edging up, and business confidence turning lower.

That’s a major signal for the US Federal Reserve, which is now under pressure to cut interest rates to stop the slowdown from tipping into a deeper recession.

Rate cuts in the US don’t just stay in the US. They set the tone for global markets.

When the Fed moves, the Reserve Bank of Australia takes notice. With inflation easing locally and growth already soft, the RBA will have room to follow with its own cuts.

Europe and China are facing the same challenges, which means 2025 could be a year of coordinated global easing.

For Australian property investors, this matters. The first sign of lower rates often sparks confidence. Investors re-enter the market, even before several cuts take place.

Add that to a supply shortage, strong population growth, and tight rental markets, and the outlook for property remains supported.

Listen in as Peter breaks down how global trends shape local opportunities.

The Home Guarantee Scheme is changing the property game.

In this episode, sponsored by ⁠Flexdoc⁠, we break down what the early start means for the market and why it matters.

The scheme will open the door for around 70,000 buyers who would otherwise be locked out. That is a wave of fresh demand hitting Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane at the same time the Reserve Bank is cutting rates.

We go past the headlines and focus on the mechanics. Smaller deposits mean lower barriers. Buyers who once needed years to save can now act sooner. The timing is not an accident. The government has pulled forward support just as affordability pressures mount.

For many, the scheme cuts years off the journey to a first home. For the market, it brings momentum where it is most needed, in the middle and lower tiers.

We also look at how this interacts with borrowing power. Every cut from the RBA lifts capacity by seven to ten percent. Add the deposit change and the effect compounds. A household that thought it could only borrow $700,000 can suddenly stretch closer to $800,000. That shift matters when competition heats up at auctions.

Our analysis shows the policy could add a few percentage points to prices in targeted suburbs over the next year. The effect will not be even. Sydney’s west, Melbourne’s growth corridors and Brisbane’s outer ring will feel the sharpest rise.

We weigh the winners and losers, and ask whether the benefits for new buyers outweigh the cost of pushing prices higher again.
