Stocks rallied this week, while the 30-year US Treasury yield spiked to its highest level since 2007.

The S&P 500 was up around 1% and the Nasdaq 1.6%, helped by Microsoft and Amazon climbing on cloud growth. The ASX 200 rose 2.3%, breaking a three-week falling streak.

But while the markets regained confidence, long-dated yields hit a 9-year high, showing that the bond market isn’t convinced inflation is beaten.

Jacki Neumann, Sharesies Head of Capital Markets, breaks it down in this week’s Market Movements (filmed Monday 3 August).

Investors want proof that all this AI spending is turning into profit. Tesla slid 14% last week and Alphabet and Intel both left the market unconvinced, even as they reported solid numbers.

The tech giants dragged the Nasdaq down 2.1% and the S&P 500 down 0.6%, with the ASX tech sector down 6.6%. Meanwhile, oil went the other way, with Brent crude jumping nearly 14% on renewed Middle East conflict, and the NZX 50 defied global markets to gain around 0.6%.

Tech earnings continue across the week ahead, with Microsoft, Meta, Amazon and Apple all reporting, plus the latest Fed decision on Wednesday (US time).

A tech-led sell-off rattled markets this week, but the real story is the debate over what's behind it.

The S&P 500 slipped 1.5% and the Nasdaq 2.9%, led by a near-10% tumble in the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index, while oil told the opposite story, with Brent crude spiking 13%+ as US–Iran tensions re-escalated. Add cooler-than-expected June US inflation and China's weakest quarter since 2022 (a watch-point for Aussie iron ore names like BHP, Rio, and Fortescue).

The question everyone's asking: was the semiconductor sell-off a healthy reset, or the start of something bigger? As earnings season ramps up, the next stretch of tech reporting should tell us more.

Building wealth through work is changing. While a salary used to be the standard, the ongoing cost-of-living crunch has New Zealanders and Australians looking for smarter, more sustainable ways to secure their financial futures.

“We are seeing a shift in how New Zealanders view their compensation. Employees are signaling a real appetite for equity, with a clear majority eager to have a stake in the business. There is a fundamental desire to build meaningful, long-term wealth through the very companies they are helping to grow.”

- Susannah Batley General Manager of Sharesies Business

Markets bounced back this week, but the biggest story wasn’t just big tech.

A weaker-than-expected US jobs report eased pressure on the Federal Reserve, helping lift markets as investors dialled back expectations of another rate hike. Big tech rebounded, gold rallied, and attention is now turning to the RBNZ's OCR decision and the start of US earnings season.

Jordan Cunningham, Sharesies Head of Data & Analytics, breaks it all down in our latest Market Update.

Oil prices are sliding, a new Fed chair is making his mark and US markets are still climbing with the S&P 500 now up 11 of the past 12 weeks.

From a landmark US–Iran preliminary peace deal reshaping energy markets, to the Fed dropping forward guidance and half its members pencilling in a rate hike for 2026 — it was a big week.
