A surprise US jobs report is keeping a September Fed hike alive.

Employers added 162,000 jobs in August, nearly triple forecasts, with the weak summer months revised higher too.

That's pushed the odds of a hike to around 60% and sent bond yields surging to multi-year highs.

This week's US inflation report will likely settle it either way.

Back home, growth told a different story — Australia's Q2 GDP rose just 0.4%, leaning on data centres, with unemployment now at 4.5%, all but ruling out an RBA hike this month.

First time you look at a stock chart, it's a lot — lines, candles, numbers on every edge. But strip it back and a chart shows just two things: price and time.

Trend, support and resistance, volume and moving averages are all just different lenses on that same price history. Handy context, especially when you're getting your bearings.

Worth remembering though: a chart can't tell you where a price is going, or anything about the business behind it.

Australia's economy grew 0.4% in the June quarter, but the growth is getting narrower, not broader.

Business investment rose over 10%, almost entirely on data-centre construction, while mining capex fell and households largely sat out — underlying spending stayed flat despite a few one-off boosts.

Unemployment climbed to 4.5% in July, a post-COVID high, which all but rules out another RBA hike this month.

An economy leaning on a handful of big projects is more fragile than one with broad-based demand.

One of our long-time customers was featured in the AFR — and her story is worth reading.

Tanya swapped a high-paid consulting career for living off the income her portfolio generates, managing her listed investments through Selfwealth.

As she tells the AFR, it wasn't luck: it took years of learning, failing and dedication.

Our Director of Investment Strategy, Rob Wilson, also weighed in on the question everyone asks — how much is enough? His answer: there's no magic number. It depends less on the size of the portfolio than on how much you need to withdraw from it.

Before you pick an investment, pick a goal 🎯

📋 Know what you own and what you owe
🛟 Have a cash buffer so you're not forced to sell at a bad time
✍️ Make it SMART — an amount and a deadline, not a vague wish
⏳ Group by timeframe: under 2 years, 2–5, or 5+
💸 Watch fees — they bite hardest on small, regular contributions

"What should I invest in?" is the second question.
