President-elect Donald Trump's latest policy announcements continue to have an impact on capital markets.
Trump's pick of Scott Bessent as Treasury Secretary sent long-term Government bond yields lower and the US share market higher - as investors felt more confident in a 'seasoned' choice taking on the role.
However, his threated tariffs on China, Canada and Mexico created a divided response among investors.

"You're not here for a cheap and cheerful holiday, for most of our visitors."

The Finance Minister has been quick to unpack some of Labour's announcements from over the weekend.
At the party's annual conference, leader Chris Hipkins ruled out joining AUKUS - the security pact between Australia, the UK and the US.
Finance Minister Nicola Willis has said this rejection of AUKUS feels 'premature'.
"Let's remember it was Labour who started the discussions about Pillar Two of AUKUS back in 2021. No one's ever talked about joining the first pillar - but exploring how we could co-operate on technology was something Labour kicked off."

Mortgage holders have been hoping the banks will pass on the latest 50 basis point cut to the OCR - but many will have to wait.
New Zealand's major banks have all cut their floating rates, but only ASB's fixed-term mortgage rate has moved down so far.
Mortgage advisor Bruce Patton says the banks had largely predicted the OCR would drop by 50 basis points - and priced their earlier cuts accordingly.
"We saw a few banks move a few days before, we saw the BNZ come down from 6.49 to 5.99 on the Monday before the OCR was even announced. A lot of the rates had already moved."

Labour's foreign affairs spokesperson has called AUKUS a 'China containment strategy' - which Labour wants no part of.
At the party conference, leader Chris Hipkins announced no future Labour Government would be involved in the tri-lateral security deal.
David Parker says New Zealand should plot a path between the superpowers.
He's confirmed Labour would withdraw from the deal if the current Government signs up.
"In terms of the practicality of that - very little will have happened by then. Even the Pillar One submarines that are nuclear powered that Australia's purchasing - they don't arrive by the 2030s."

Joe Biden has signed a pardon for his son - Hunter Biden - due to be sentenced this month on gun crime and tax convictions.
The US President previously said he wouldn't pardon him, but now says his son was selectively and unfairly prosecuted.
US correspondent Logan Church says this news comes as a shock to everyone - given how Biden was originally opposed to the pardon.
"For all of Joe Biden's re-election campaign - and after he stepped aside in support of Kamala Harris - he vowed that he would not pardon his son at all. It appeared like a political strategy more than anything else."

The British Government intends to overhaul the country’s immigration system after new data shows arrivals had hit a record high.
New figures show net migration is at 900,000 in the year to June 2023, which Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer blames on the previous Conservative government — 22 percent higher than the original numbers.
He says they had pledged to get the numbers down multiple times and failed every time.
UK correspondent Kay Oliver told Heather du Plessis-Allan the big question remains how much of it is legitimate and genuine, but also how much of it is uncontrolled.
Meanwhile, ex-soldier Daniel Khalife has been found guilty of spying for Iran, and the world’s oldest man John Tinniswood, who was born the same year the Titanic sank, has died aged 112.

China has been preparing for Donald Trump’s threat of tariffs.
The US President-elect is pledging to add another 10 percent on top of existing tariffs on Chinese exports, where he also slapped tariffs on Mexico and Canada.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump has made more about curtailing the supply of drugs and reducing illegal immigration.
But Asia business correspondent Peter Lewis told Heather du Plessis-Allan it’s hard to know what China can really do about that.
He says economists predict the tariffs will reduce exports by about 15 percent, knocking off about 0.5 percent of China’s GDP.

The Government's plans to do away with high-earning workers rights to claim unjustified dismissal is copping flack from an employment lawyer.
Under the proposal, anyone making more than $180,000 a year will lose out on that current legal avenue if they lose their jobs.
Employment law expert Max Whitehead told Heather du Plessis-Allan this is an unfair winding back of employees' legal protections.
He asks who would want to be a senior manager right now — it's a tough world out there for the big timers in business.
