Australia’s economy is back in focus after the latest GDP figures, with investors reassessing the strength of growth as attention turns to inflation, demand trends and the Reserve Bank of Australia’s next policy move.

Markets are trying to gauge whether the RBA will maintain its current stance or adjust course in response to shifting domestic conditions.

Globally, attention is also on the US Federal Reserve as it considers scaling back forward guidance, a change that could reshape expectations around interest rates and market transparency.

At the same time, strong and mixed technology earnings are influencing sentiment across equities, adding another layer of volatility for investors watching global growth signals.

Trade policy is also back in the spotlight with Section 301 tariff discussions raising questions about supply chains and international commerce, while a wave of upcoming major IPOs is set to test investor appetite and liquidity.

David Scutt from StoneX, breaks down what these developments mean for markets, growth and sentiment going forward.
