From “Trumpenomics” to Labor’s landslide victory Federal Election, it has been a wild ride for the Australian economy so far in 2025.

Listen to the HotCopper podcast for in-depth discussions and insights on all the biggest headlines from throughout the week. On Spotify, Apple, and more.

And as we approach the end of the financial year, it is an important time to pause and take stock of where we’re at as a country, and what it means for investors Down Under for the new financial year — and beyond.

With so much cracking off, I asked HotCopper contributor, investment expert, educator, and economic author Andrew Baxter how to read market conditions.

Baxter shares how he feels the Aussie economy has held up against the volatility, his take on key data including GDP, unemployment and consumer confidence; and his views on how the rest of the year may play out.

You can hear more from Andrew on the Money and Investing podcast, right here on HotCopper as well as Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and YouTube.
