How was your weekend?
We took the advantage of the “brisk” Victorian weather to head up to the country and have a nice meal in a 1900’s pub.
So…
Have we seen the bottom in markets?
We think the answer is “yes” in the short-term.
What’s the key driver?
It’s all about the “China-led” COVID recovery and potential new stimulus being announced.
Across markets…
Australian shares are set to open higher with interest rate policy, wages inflation and jobs data key drivers this week.
ASX futures were up 54 points or 0.8 per cent to 7110. The S&P/ASX 200 rose 1.9 per cent, or 134.1 points, to 7075.1 on Friday, but posted a weekly loss of 1.8 per cent.
The local currency was 1.1 per cent higher, retaking the US69¢ level as the greenback eased after several US policymakers reiterated their expectation that 50 basis point rate rises were most likely in June and July.
The yield on the US 10-year note rose 7 basis points to 2.92 per cent.
On Wall Street, all three benchmarks rallied on Friday in New York, though nowhere near enough to reverse earlier losses. The S&P 500 recorded its sixth consecutive week of losses.

BHP’s (ASX:BHP) shift away from fossil fuels and towards so-called ‘future facing commodities’ will hit its biggest milestone yet on Thursday when Woodside Petroleum (ASX:WPL) shareholders vote to confirm their company’s merger with BHP’s Petroleum division.
With its turn away from oil and gas as well as efforts to sell out of thermal coal over the past two years, BHP has put its faith in commodities it views as essential to the transition to green energy — copper, nickel and its famous iron ore division.
While some market watchers have been suggesting BHP is keen on a mega deal to boost its scale, particularly in the nickel and copper space, one key battery metal is a notable for its absence in BHP’s future plans – lithium.
The very metal the lithium-ion battery is named after has seen its price soar 10 times over for both downstream chemicals and raw material concentrates over the past 18 months as electric vehicle sales have hit consecutive records.
