Hedge Clippings | 10 July 2026 Summary: Housing takes centre stage this week, with fresh ABS approvals data and a rapidly falling price picture landing days apart. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Melbourne visit delivered a uranium deal which has been stalled for a decade, while offshore the quick military fixes promised in both Iran and Ukraine keep dragging on. National values post their steepest monthly fall since 2022, and HSBC says an 8% correction is just the beginning Source: Cotality Home Value Index, via Mortgage Professional Australia, 7 July 2026 Cotality's Home Value Index fell 0.4% nationally in June, the steepest monthly decline since December 2022, with capital city values down 1.3% over the quarter. Sydney (-1.2% for the month, -3.2% for the quarter) and Melbourne (-1.0%, -2.6%) are leading the fall. Sydney's top quartile ($1.8M plus) has shed roughly $90,000 or 5% in three months, and auction clearance rates have sat below 50% for five consecutive weeks. Domain separately forecasts Sydney down 7% and Melbourne down 8% to June 2027, while Perth, Adelaide and Brisbane keep growing. No doubt there will be further differences on a more granular geographic and suburb basis. Hedge Clippings' own anecdotal evidence from a real estate agent contact operating in Sydney's Elizabeth Bay suggesting achieved prices are already running about 15% below three months ago, with properties taking noticeably longer to sell. HSBC's Paul Bloxham called the tax reform and the RBA's three 2026 hikes a combination that has "rapidly sapped investor demand," pointing to a peak to trough correction of up to 8%. The issue is that property, as most Australian's largest asset impact consumer confidence and the rest of the economy. CBA now expects GDP growth to slow to 1.5% by year end. Economist Belinda Allen notes the oil shock hit was milder than feared, but a deterioration in the housing market is offsetting that relief. Source: ABS Building Approvals, released 3 July 2026. Total approvals: 17,019 (+5.5% YoY) Total dwellings approved fell 1.1% in May to 17,019, per ABS data released 3 July, but the composition tells the real story. ABS head of construction statistics Daniel Rossi attributed the fall entirely to a 10.4% drop in private dwellings excluding houses, which had jumped 4.0% in April. May's Budget's tax changes will not have not fed through to this data yet, since the CGT and negative gearing reforms only bite from mid-2027 and the SMSF LRBA ban from August. This is still largely a rate and confidence story, not a tax reform one. The stakes are asymmetric across tenure types. Nationally 66% of households own their home (35% with a mortgage, 31% outright) and 31% rent, per ABS and AIHW data. In Greater Sydney ownership drops to 59% (32% mortgaged, 27% outright) and renting rises to 35%. For the roughly one third of households still paying off a loan, this cycle delivers a rare double hit: elevated repayments and declining home equity at the same time, a combination that weighs directly on consumer confidence since housing remains most Australians' largest asset. Falling prices help Albo's aspirational first home buyers get a foot on the ladder, but they do not help the roughly 4 million households already on it who are watching equity erode while repayments stay elevated. That asymmetry is the real political and economic tension of this cycle, and no single data release resolves it. A decade long stalemate ends: Australia will sell uranium to India Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's third visit to Australia, his first stop after Indonesia on a three-nation tour, produced a nuclear cooperation agreement allowing Australian uranium exports to India for "exclusively peaceful purposes," ending a stalemate that persisted despite a 2014 cooperation pact. Albanese framed it as diversifying Australian trade beyond China, still the nation's top partner. Modi linked it to India's target of 100 gigawatts of nuclear capacity by 2047. The two leaders also agreed to deepen defence, critical minerals and space cooperation, including a tracking terminal on the Cocos Keeling Islands, and Modi pushed for an early conclusion to the proposed Comprehensive Economic Cooperation Agreement. This is a genuine long term positive for the Australian uranium and critical minerals sector, even though the commercial ramp up will take years, not months. However, let's not go into the logic of Australia, with 28% of the world's known uranium resources being happy to export it, but not prepared to use it domestically as a reliable long term power source, unless of course it is on a submarine. Two quick fixes that still are not fixed Trump's promised swift resolution in Iran, lunched on 28th of February, has stretched to four and a half months with no final treaty signed despite June's interim memorandum - but in fact with an renewed increase in hostilities. The parallel in Putin's Ukraine short term military exercise launched in 2022 with expectations of a rapid outcome, has instead run more than four years, with Russian forces now facing genuine attrition pressure. For markets, both situations underscore the same lesson: geopolitical resolutions tend to be announced faster than they are actually delivered, and oil and risk asset pricing should build in that lag rather than front run the headline. Next week: Australia's economic calendar delivers the data that will shape the August RBA call The RBA's next meeting is not until August 10-11 and is shaping as being critical for Australia's mortgage holders, as well as the RBA's own reputation. Prior to that the board will have the benefit of June's CPI number (due 29th July). With household equity under pressure from falling prices and mortgage holders squeezed on both sides, the case for diversified exposure beyond direct residential property remains strong.

17 Jul 2026 - Why a softer June CPI may not mean the RBA is finished
|
Why a softer June CPI may not mean the RBA is finished Seed Funds Management July 2026 (2-minute read time) |
|
Australia's June labour-force figures will be released on Thursday, 23 July, followed by the June CPI figures on Wednesday, 29 July. Together, these releases will be closely examined for evidence as to whether inflationary pressures are easing sufficiently to allow the RBA to conclude that its monetary-policy tightening cycle is complete. A comparatively benign June inflation result should not, in our view, be taken as confirmation that the RBA has finished tightening. The June period continued to benefit from the full temporary reduction in fuel excise, but that support was partially withdrawn from 1 July and is scheduled to be removed entirely in August. We think that renewed tensions in the Middle East and higher global oil prices will add a further source of upside risk. Together, these factors could produce a noticeable rebound in petrol prices and subsequently feed into freight, aviation, food distribution and broader business costs during the September quarter. More importantly, Australia's inflation problem is not confined to energy. Persistent pressure remains across housing, rents, construction, insurance, utilities, health, education and other labour-intensive services. Weak productivity growth continues to keep unit labour costs elevated, while government spending that remains excessive relative to the economy's available capacity is adding to demand, intensifying competition for scarce labour and materials, and offsetting some of the restraint being imposed on households through higher interest rates. Against this backdrop, we believe markets should be cautious about drawing strong conclusions from a single softer CPI release. Unless underlying and non-tradables inflation show a sustained and broad-based decline, a June lull may prove temporary. We think the unemployment figures will also need to demonstrate more than a marginal softening in labour-market conditions before materially changing that assessment. The two July releases will provide important new information, but we doubt they are likely to settle the monetary-policy outlook in isolation. We believe the RBA is likely to require a continuing sequence of weaker inflation and employment data before concluding that inflation has been contained. Against this backdrop, we see the current market confidence that the rate-increase cycle is complete appears premature, particularly while underlying inflation remains persistent and several identifiable sources of renewed price pressure are still working through the economy. |

17 Jul 2026 - Rethinking the competitive advantages of AI-exposed companies
|
Rethinking the competitive advantages of AI-exposed companies Janus Henderson Investors July 2026 (6-minute read) Human cognitive labor was once scarce. With artificial intelligence (AI), it's abundant. Research Analyst Ian McDonald explains through three company examples that illustrate why investors need to follow where that scarcity is being relocated.For decades, investors have relied on a familiar set of labels to evaluate competitive advantages: network effects, switching costs, data moats, brand, talent. These frameworks still describe real economic forces, but they were built for a world where human knowledge work was expensive and organizational effort took time. With the advent of AI, that assumption is now breaking down. AI is not going to eliminate every competitive advantage. It is, however, forcing investors to look more carefully at what makes a moat durable, and in many cases the answer has changed. Every moat rests on some form of scarcity, which is a resource or capability that is constrained and hard to replicate. That scarcity does not disappear as technology advances; it relocates. Where it lands helps determine which companies can sustain their edge and which will have to adapt. A pattern that repeats This is not the first time technology has shifted where scarcity lives. In the late 1990s, finding information was the bottleneck. Google indexed the web and made search effectively free. Scarcity moved to attention and distribution, which is why the next generation of dominant businesses were ad networks and platforms. In the 2010s, owning and managing servers was the constraint. Cloud computing made infrastructure elastic and metered. Scarcity migrated to power, cooling, chips, and physical capacity - a shift that still underpins much of today's investment case for utilities and infrastructure. Now we are in a third cycle. AI is absorbing the bottleneck of human cognitive labor. Routine analytical work that once took a person hours can now be completed by an AI agent in minutes. The former scarcity is moving toward three areas: judgment that requires human discretion, trust in the form of verification and accepted standards, and the physical inputs required to scale AI systems. Exhibit 1: New technology finds a scarcity bottleneck in the economy, absorbs the hard part, and makes the formerly scarce resource cheap and abundant. Then scarcity moves. Wherever it goes, the competitive advantage follows.
Cheaper to do, not cheaper to check An academic paper1 published earlier this year by researchers Christian Catalini, Xiang Hui, and Jane Wu offers a useful economic framework for understanding this shift. Their core argument is that the cost to automate a task is falling rapidly, but the cost to verify the result is not falling nearly as fast. Tasks that can be clearly defined, checked by a machine, and repeated cheaply is approaching zero marginal cost. That covers much of what companies have historically paid junior analysts, entry-level engineers, and consultants to do. Verification is different: Someone must still confirm the output is correct, accept liability for it, and resolve disputes when the stakes are real. Those costs stay sticky, and in some cases rise, since more AI-generated content increases demand for content that can be trusted. That distinction between generating an output and verifying it has meaningful investment implications. If a company's core advantage rested mainly on work AI can now do cheaply, that advantage may be eroding. If it rested on trust, accepted standards, or physical scarcity, it may be getting stronger. Three outcomes: Collapsed, moved, strengthened Building on these ideas, one way to think about how AI is impacting competitive advantages is to sort companies into three categories based on what happened to their core scarcity. Scarcity collapsed. Chegg, the education technology company, built what appeared to be a classic data flywheel: More students generated more questions, which produced more answers, which attracted more students. But the real scarcity was not the database; it was the human work of taking a textbook problem, explaining it clearly, and making it searchable. Once AI made that kind of reasoning abundant, the accumulated content was no longer the advantage. In some respects, it may have even become training material for the models competing with it. This illustrates a risk worth watching: If a company's data is essentially stored human cognitive work and a model can reproduce the same utility at lower cost, the advantage can unravel quickly. Scarcity moved. eBay's moat was traditionally described as liquidity-driven network effects: More buyers attract more sellers, and vice versa. That is still partly true, but it bundles together very different layers of value. For commodity goods, AI agents could potentially search across multiple marketplaces, compare prices and reviews, and route a buyer to the best deal regardless of where they started. That layer faces pressure over time. But eBay also has categories built on items that are physical, unique, and irreplaceable, such as collectibles, vintage goods, and rare parts. These items either exist or they do not - they cannot be generated by a model. And in a world of increasing synthetic content, the ability to verify a physical item's authenticity could become more valuable. The moat hasn't disappeared; Rather, it is shifting from generic discovery toward unique supply and authentication. Scarcity strengthened. Axon, the public safety technology company, may be the clearest example in this category. AI can make transcription, tagging, report writing and evidence review cheaper. But none of that undermines Axon's core asset: an authenticated chain of custody that tells courts, prosecutors, and municipalities that a piece of evidence is real, preserved, auditable, and admissible. In a world filling up with synthetic video, synthetic audio, and AI-generated claims, that kind of trust becomes more valuable, not less. Whereas Chegg sold explanations into a world where explanation became abundant, Axon sells authenticated evidence into a world where authenticity is becoming scarcer. Look under the hood The practical implication is clear: Now is the time to check in on the state of companies' competitive advantages. AI does not need to impact next year's earnings to affect today's valuation; it only needs to shorten how long the market expects a company's advantage to last. That repricing is already underway across application software, information services, marketplaces, and platform businesses. But it is often too blunt, treating every moat in a category as equally vulnerable when the underlying scarcity differs significantly from one company to the next. The old moat vocabulary is not dead. Network effects are real. Switching costs are real. Data advantages are real. But they are a starting point, not a definitive answer. The work now is to look underneath them; identify whether the scarcity that supported the advantage has collapsed, moved, or strengthened; and judge durability accordingly. That is where our research is focused. 1 Catalini, Christian and Hui, Xiang and Wu, Jane, Some Simple Economics of AGI (February 24, 2026).

16 Jul 2026 - Emerging Markets: How AI exports are powering Korea's next investment opportunity
|
Emerging Markets: How AI exports are powering Korea's next investment opportunity Pendal June 2026 (2 minutes read time) |
|
IN ONE of the more unusual current developments in emerging markets, South Korea is experiencing a powerful export surge driven by global demand for artificial intelligence infrastructure, yet the Korean won continues to trade close to its weakest levels in decades. South Korea's latest trade data confirms the strength of the current semiconductor cycle. Exports reached a record US$87.8 billion in May, rising 53 per cent year-on-year and comfortably exceeding expectations.1 Semiconductor exports increased by 169 per cent.1 The benefits are increasingly extending beyond semiconductors, with non-semiconductor exports gaining momentum and manufacturing activity reaching its strongest level in more than five years. This has transformed Korea's external accounts. The current account surplus rose from 1.8 per cent of GDP in 2023 to 6.6 per cent in 2025 as semiconductor exports recovered sharply.1 Semiconductor surge tipped to offset energy price dragThe Bank of Korea expects the semiconductor boom to more than offset the economic drag from higher energy prices stemming from tensions in the Middle East. Under normal circumstances, such a combination of strong exports, rising corporate profitability and large external surpluses would be expected to support a stronger currency. Instead, the won has continued to weaken. In our view, this reflects the dominance of capital flows over trade flows. Korean investors have become substantial buyers of overseas assets, particularly US equities. Domestic savings are increasingly being deployed overseas, while a growing share of the foreign currency revenues generated by Korean exporters are being retained offshore rather than repatriated and converted into won. As a result, sizeable trade surpluses have coincided with persistent capital outflows. Vast dollar earnings not being converted back to Korean wonThe result is the emergence of "DRAM dollars", analogous to the petrodollars generated by major energy exporters. Korea's semiconductor sector is generating vast dollar earnings, but an increasing share of those proceeds is not being converted back into won. At the same time, strong performance in overseas equity markets and a weaker won have reinforced the attractiveness of foreign assets for domestic investors, creating a self-reinforcing cycle of capital outflows. The won is cheap, but not outrageously so. In its 2025 External Sector Report, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) concluded that Korea's external position in 2024 was broadly consistent with medium-term fundamentals and desirable policies. In particular, the IMF noted Korea's need to run a large current account surplus in order "to build precautionary savings to meet aging-related needs and an orderly deleveraging of private debt".2 Since that assessment, the real effective exchange rate has fallen by a further 8 per cent, while semiconductor exports and current account dynamics have strengthened. How we are positioningThe portfolio remains substantially exposed to the beneficiaries of the AI investment cycle, including Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix, both directly and indirectly. We remain heavily underweight the rest of the Korean market, where the transmission of semiconductor success into broader earnings growth is less certain. We also remain underweight the won given the export exposure already embedded within our holdings. Nevertheless, the combination of a large current account surplus, strong export momentum and increasingly attractive valuation suggests that the medium-term outlook for the Korean currency is becoming progressively more favourable.

15 Jul 2026 - Emerging markets income equity: the billion-dollar questions
|
Emerging markets income equity: the billion-dollar questions abrdn June 2026 (Reading time: 5 Mins) In a market often defined by volatility and headlines, what actually drives sustainable income in emerging markets (EM)? Reflecting on the evolution of our EM income equity strategy -- which we have managed since 2012 -- and the recent milestone of the latest investment vehicle launched in 2024 topping US$1 billion in assets, lead portfolio manager Matt Williams tackles nine key questions about the drivers of outcomes, the enduring principles behind the approach and the reasons why the outlook for EM remains compelling. What defines your approach to managing an EM income equity strategy?Our starting point is simple: markets regularly misprice company fundamentals. We aim to identify those gaps by forming our own long-term view of cash flows, earnings, and returns, and comparing that with what is already reflected in valuations. Looking back, what moments or themes stand out most?The rapid emergence of generative artificial intelligence (AI) has been a defining theme. Rather than focusing solely on companies building AI systems, we have increasingly targeted those helping to monetise the technology through real-world applications --such as wireless connectivity chipmakers, semiconductor designers and memory manufacturers. What aspects of the investment philosophy have remained constant since strategy launch and why do they still matter?Our philosophy has not changed. We believe cash flow gives one of the clearest and most reliable indicators of business quality, which is why we describe our approach as 'follow the cash flow'. It helps us test management narratives and focus on companies with sustainable fundamentals. Where has the approach evolved as the strategy has matured?While the underlying philosophy has remained consistent, the framework around it has evolved over time. We introduced a pod-based structure almost a decade ago to reinforce accountability and improve portfolio construction discipline. What are the key lessons from managing an EM income strategy across different market environments?One key lesson is the value of balance. The approach combines dividend-growth businesses with high-dividend companies, rather than relying on one style. That helps deliver a more resilient return profile across the cycle. What role has income played in shaping returns and resilience since the strategy's launch?Income has contributed to the overall performance of the strategy since its inception in 2012. We seek to provide a yield that is typically higher than the benchmark. Importantly, income also helps smooth the return profile. It can provide a component of total return, while longer-term investments play out. We believe that income is generated by companies with strong cash flows and disciplined capital allocation, and that it can be sustained rather than cyclical. How do investors typically use EM income strategies in portfolios and has that changed over time?Investors can use EM income equity strategies as a core EM allocation, complemented by more thematic or higher-growth satellite exposures. This reflects demand for a more balanced return profile within what can be a volatile asset class. What investor feedback has resonated most as the strategy has grown?Investors consistently highlight the discipline and repeatability of the approach. They also value the scale of our research platform, with around 50 investment professionals across seven global locations providing local insight and access to management teams. Looking ahead, where do you see the most compelling opportunities and the key risks?Despite recent geopolitical tensions, we remain constructive on emerging markets. The structural drivers behind the current cycle are intact, including rising global capital investment, the build-out of data centre infrastructure, increased defence spending, decarbonisation, and supply-chain diversification. Emerging markets are playing a central role in many of these areas. Final thoughtsThe strength of our approach lies in its consistency, focus on cash flow, and balanced portfolio construction. As EM continues to evolve, maintaining this discipline remains central to how we seek to navigate opportunities and risks over the long term.

As streaming competition intensifies and AI reshapes the media landscape, Deputy Portfolio Manager Ryan Joyce explores how Netflix is navigating a pivotal period for the industry. He highlights management's disciplined decision to walk away from the Warner Bros Discovery deal and examines AI's mixed impact--creating near-term engagement headwinds from short-form content, but ultimately acting as a tool to enhance, not disrupt, Netflix's core model.
