  • Global Energy & Financial Markets Updates

    • Oil Price Correction: Brent crude and WTI futures both fell 6.5% overnight due to growing market expectations for a peace deal in the Iran conflict that could reopen the Strait of Hormuz [00:00:09, 00:00:48]. This drop materialised without an actual finalized deal or clarification on the specific points where the US and Iran disagree [00:00:54].
      • Current Prices (as of 4:00 AM Sydney/Melbourne time): Brent crude was down 6.5% at $93.60 US a barrel, and West Texas Intermediate (WTI) futures were down 6.5% at $90.40 US a barrel [00:01:49].
      • Market Liquidity Note: Moves occurred while the UK and US markets were closed for a public holiday [00:01:50].
    • Supply Realities & Structural Buffers: Daniel Hynes highlighted that oil prices have remained resilient to extreme shortage risks so far due to strategic reserve drawdowns and scavenging of oil from non-Middle Eastern sources [00:01:03]. However, these buffers are on a trajectory to run down around September if the Strait remains closed [00:01:13]. At that point, the market will need to destroy roughly 9 million barrels a day of net demand, requiring oil prices to sustain levels in the $90s to force demand lower [00:01:16, 00:01:39].
    • Fixed Income, Gold, and Currencies: The US 10-year Treasury yield dropped 10.5 basis points to 4.468% [00:02:02]. Gold rose 1% to $2,399 an ounce [00:02:09]. The US dollar index slid 0.3%, helping push the Australian dollar up 0.7% to 71.76 US cents and the Kiwi dollar up 0.4% to 58.71 US cents [00:02:11].
    • Euro Weakness: The US dollar has eased back in recent days over peace hopes but remains solid against the euro, which continues to underperform [00:02:24]. Mahjabein Zaman indicated that upcoming confidence surveys and negotiated wages data will be key euro direction drivers this week, as negotiated wages directly point to the wage pressures feeding services inflation [00:02:35].

    Singapore’s Macroeconomic Surge

    • Blockbuster GDP Growth: Singapore reported a 6% year-on-year GDP growth in the March quarter, coming in well ahead of market expectations of approximately 5.2% [00:02:51].
    • AI & Manufacturing Driver: Khoon Goh noted that Singapore's position as a manufacturing hub for chips and logistics powered this result, specifically driven by the ongoing AI-related investment boom accelerating the city-state's manufacturing sector [00:02:58].
    • Wholesale Trade Expansion: Reflecting heavy transport and logistics activity around semiconductors and AI components, Singapore's wholesale trade sector expanded 11% year-on-year—a growth rate not witnessed in a quite a long time [00:03:16].
    • Monetary Policy Path: Core inflation in April cooled to 1.4% year-on-year (down from 1.7% in March) [00:03:42]. Despite this pullback, Khoon Goh anticipates that the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) will tighten policy at its next Monetary Policy Statement (MPS) in July [00:03:50]. The policy rationale hinges on expectations that inflation will pick up in the coming months as high oil prices filter through a highly robust economy, elevating upside risks to inflation over downside risks to growth [00:03:58].

    New Zealand Retail Pressures

    • Q1 Retail Outturn: New Zealand retail trade volumes registered a solid 0.9% expansion in the March quarter [00:04:30]. However, Matt Gold warned that this backward-looking figure only contained a single month of the recent fuel price shock [00:04:33].
    • Card Spending Disruptions: Comparing April card spending data against February shows a dramatic divergence: the nominal amount spent on fuel is up significantly, while spending on almost everything else has dropped [00:04:42]. The sharpest cutbacks are hitting discretionary categories like clothing, hospitality, services, and tourism-related services [00:04:51].
    • Depressed Cyclical Base: Per capita retail trade volumes continue to sit firmly below their previous cyclical peak established back in 2021 [00:05:00]. This depressed per-capita base, paired with highly challenging forward card data, indicates retailers face a very tough remainder of 2026 [00:05:08].

    Australia's Property Market & Federal Budget Impact

    • Macro Modeling Deviations: Prior to the federal budget release, ANZ expected modest Australian dwelling price growth across this year and next [00:05:32]. Adam Boyton noted that long-run macroeconomic modeling suggests the budget's tax changes should strip roughly 2 percentage points off dwelling prices over a multi-year horizon (shifting a 3% growth trajectory down to 2% per year) [00:05:43].
    • Non-Linear Near-Term Transitions: Boyton heavily stressed that market transitions from policy changes are rarely smooth or perfectly linear [00:06:04]. The near term will trigger immediate behavioral responses from both buyers and sellers: sellers might withdraw properties from active listing, while buyers may exhibit near-term caution regarding negative gearing and capital gains tax (CGT) adjustments [00:06:16].
    • High-Frequency Supply Metrics: In the short run (e.g., over the next 6 months), price dynamics are dictated by transactional market supply—how many properties are actively listed for sale—rather than long-term physical dwelling stock [00:07:06]. ANZ will lean on high-frequency indicators like auction clearance rates and weekly timely listings data rather than static theoretical modeling to guide their property forecasts [00:06:44, 00:07:22].
    • Granular Composition Shifts: Impact variations from interest rate increases and specific budget changes will manifest primarily across different property types rather than simple geographic differences between capital cities [00:07:51, 00:08:08].
      • Slowing Capitals: Sydney and Melbourne have already been slowing down due to heightened interest rate sensitivities, with Melbourne facing extra physical supply relative to population growth [00:07:38].
      • Structural Divergence: One and two-bedroom apartments in heavily investor-dominated suburbs are projected to see much softer price outcomes due to shifting investor dynamics [00:08:16]. Conversely, freestanding dwellings in suburbs dominated by owner-occupiers seeking a principal place of residence will remain far more resilient [00:08:26]. This structural switching means aggregate average city property prices might appear unmoved, while underlying granular segments diverge significantly [].
