Search ArticlesWhy have Australian living standards “fallen” and how do we fix it?
For the last few years there has been much talk of a “cost-of-living” crisis in Australia and of “falling living standards”. This has flared up again lately with the pickup in inflation resulting in a renewed fall in real wages.
2025-26 saw lots of noise but strong returns (again) – can it continue?
Key points While we saw a long list of worries over the last year, 2025-26 saw another financial year of strong returns. Risks around Iran and oil, various other geopolitical issues, sticky inflation and possible further rate hikes and AI related bubble worries could drive another correction in shares. In Australia, the main risks relate to sticky inflation, RBA rate hikes and the property downturn.
Investment markets and key developments
So far it really just looks like a regular cyclical correction in the property market after a strong period. Nothing extreme here. Whether it meets a definition of a correction is semantics as there is no real agreed definition of one for the property market – but it kind of looks like one. But of course, its early days yet and higher rates and the tax changes are likely to impact for a while yet so it will likely still get worse.
Teflon share markets – 5 reasons they’re so resilient despite lots of worries
In short, history warns that it’s dangerous to assume that there is no cycle and no risk. As Howard Marks, co-founder and co-chair of Oaktree Capital Management observed “The riskiest thing in the world is the belief that there’s no risk.” The danger is that this can often lead to excessive exposure to shares which eventually leaves shares vulnerable to a fall.

In the US core private final consumption deflator inflation (Thursday) for May is likely to show a further rise to 3.4%yoy from 3.3% and underlying growth in capital goods orders and shipments (also Thursday) is likely to have remained solid.
Econosights - Housing Q&A - AMP
If we understand that Australian housing is on the more expensive side then the solution is to make it more affordable by forcing home prices to run below incomes. Therefore, we need to either make home price growth lower or push incomes up. It’s quite hard to push incomes up significantly, without generating unwanted inflation. So the answer is ultimately falls in home prices or low growth in prices.
The RBA undertakes a hawkish pause – we continue to expect a further rise in rates
In leaving rates on hold, the RBA noted that there are signs that the economy is slowing as expected (and required to cool inflation) and that it was appropriate to leave rates on hold as it assesses the response to the three previous rate hikes this year. In this regard it noted that financial conditions have tightened, consumer spending is showing signs of slowing and house prices are falling in some cities. Given all this, pausing to assess makes sense.
Investment markets and key developments
The past week has been dominated again by developments around a US/Iran peace deal – but its looking like a deal is on the way. The week started on an optimistic note with Trump saying last weekend that “final aspects and details of the Deal are currently being discussed and will be announced shortly”. But this was followed by more military strikes on Iran and Trump saying he is “not satisfied” – so oil prices rebounded.
Three reasons why it pays to be an optimist as an investor
Key points The combination of the natural human tendency to focus on bad news, expectations rising beyond the ability of the economy to deliver, the increased availability of information & the rise of social media are likely magnifying perceptions around worries and making it easier to be gloomy.
How income and investing work together to support your retirement
