  • Investment markets: November 2026
    It was a mixed month for markets—shares in Australia were up close to 1.5% and US shares finished the month down nearly 1%, with AI stocks under pressure. Other markets including China, Japan and Korea were also down. Despite concerns about AI, US reporting season has been positive so far, with strong earnings growth across the market. What’s driving sentiment and what could November bring? In this episode, UniSuper’s Head of Fixed Interest David Colosimo talks about the latest market news and the key things we’re watching out for over the coming month.

  • Investment markets: October 2026
    It was a tough month for shares in both Australia and the US—Australia’s share market was down 3%, with 10 of the market’s 11 sectors lower. While the US was down just 0.5%, the performance of AI and tech companies masked broader weakness. Meta was a key winner, up 27% off the back of new product releases including its new AI app, Muse. Higher interest rates, rising bond yields and surging energy prices all weighed on markets. So, what drove this activity? In this episode, UniSuper’s Head of Fixed Interest David Colosimo talks about the latest market news and the key things we’re watching out for over the coming month.
