Strong earnings and a resilient US economy are pushing Wall Street higher, with Meta and Alphabet leading a massive week of mega-cap reporting. It’s a different story in Australia, as local sectors dipped in April as investors trade cautiously amid rising interest rates and persistent inflation signals. 

In this week’s wrap, Will and Sophia cover: 

  • how the key asset classes performed this month 
  • US earnings results from Meta, Alphabet, Google, and Caterpillar 
  • the share price decline across Australia’s major supermarkets 
  • the key highlights from Bell Potter’s research 
  • the demand and supply shift in the lithium sector 
  • what to expect from the RBA next week.
