Market Wrap
Welcome back to another episode of the 360 Money Matters Podcast! We are back again with our monthly ‘Market Wrap’ segment.
In this episode, we discuss recent market trends, with a primary focus on the U.S. and Australian economies. We highlight the strong performance of the S&P 500 in May, driven largely by tech giants like Nvidia, which significantly contributed to market growth due to the increasing influence of AI. Inflation in the U.S. shows signs of easing, potentially paving the way for rate cuts, while in Europe, the ECB is anticipated to reduce rates to stimulate economic growth. In contrast, Australia's inflation remains high, and GDP growth is stagnating, raising concerns of stagflation.
Additionally, we note the impact of rising construction costs on housing supply and rental prices. We suggest that Australia's interest rates might stay on hold longer than expected due to persistent inflationary pressures.
Tune in to this episode for an in-depth analysis of these critical economic developments and their potential impact on your investments. Don't miss out on the latest insights—listen now!

Active and Index Investments
Welcome back to another episode of the 360 Money Matters Podcast!
In this episode, we talk about two ways people invest their money, active and passive investing. We explain that with passive investing, you put your money in a fund that follows the big companies in a certain market, like the S&P 500. But with active investing, you try to beat the market by making active choices about where to put your money that will outperform the market.
We also discuss the benefits and detriments of each approach - such as the ease, simplicity and cost effectiveness of passive investing and the opportunity for improved investing with active investments.
It's important to get advice and choose the right approach for you. Don't miss this episode to learn more about how to invest your money wisely!
