Volatility before opportunity
Market weakness may create opportunities to add risk ahead of a potential rally later in Q4 2026.

Bond yields, persistent inflation and renewed central-bank tightening are creating a challenging backdrop for global markets. In Australia, falling house prices, softer consumer spending and slowing growth add another layer of risk.
In this latest market outlook, we examine whether rising bond yields reflect a higher-for-longer rate environment or deeper concerns about fiscal sustainability. We discuss Australian equities’ sensitivity to higher yields, the case for a further RBA rate rise, and how housing weakness could lead to a sharper consumer slowdown.
While near-term volatility is likely to persist, market weakness may create opportunities to add risk ahead of a potential rally later in Q4 2026.
