AUS200
The languishing Australian market looks very sick indeed.

When will the peak for Sydney cases be? 

Over the weekend, Paramedics are reporting the situation at hospitals is the worst they have ever seen it. The tunnel is far longer than any of us would like to be the case, before the light.

Wise hedging of investment portfolios is, of course, advisable in such an environment. 

With ever higher hospitalisations, there is certainly risk of there actually being NSW lockdown extensions in coming weeks. Additionally, still of high concern is Victoria, with potentially fresh outbreaks in Queensland and South Australia as well this week. 

The tendency for the Australian stock market will remain under-performance against global markets, and even a significant fall in absolute value.

AUS200 in serious doubt
