China’s GDP numbers out today show their economy grew at 5.2% growth which is enviable given predictions for Australia’s growth at less than 2% this year.
The commodities space has been on a rollercoaster with the Uranium bulls cheering as the price hit a 16 year high. The price rallied 70% last year amid limited supply and emerging demand from countries targeting nuclear energy to help meet net-zero targets in the coming years.

This weakness in commodities combined with supply chain issues with DP World Ports have affected our market with the S&P/ASX 200 down at 7,387 as I type.
The Aussie dollar has retreated on news the Fed may delay rate cuts – it’s now at a one month low of $US .661.
REIWA reported that listings for sale across Perth fell to a record low of 3,648 at the end of December. That’s 23.4% lower than November and 49% lower than December 2022.
As at today, there are only 3,792 listings for sale (1,941 homes, 1,058 units and 793 blocks of land).
