AGP Executive Report
Last update: 10 hours agoHousing & Rates: Australia’s ABS data shows a sharp cooling in new home lending, with investor loans down $4.2B (10%) quarter-on-quarter as higher rates and property tax changes bite, while resale losses rise to 13.1%—the highest since 2012. Defense Shareholder Impact: A Trump executive order is pressuring major US defense contractors to cut buybacks and dividends, with Lockheed Martin, RTX, Northrop Grumman and General Dynamics reducing shareholder returns by $1.5B in one quarter. AI Finance Push: Nvidia is backing an AI financing push with Apollo, BlackRock, Blackstone, Brookfield, Goldman Sachs and KKR to mobilize $500B+ for AI infrastructure, reframing Nvidia as part of the funding architecture—not just the chip supplier. Regulatory/Banking Watch: India’s RBI is distancing itself from bank deposit “ratings,” a move that could reshape how credit rating firms publish deposit views. Cross-Border Investment: German companies cut direct US investment to a three-year low (€4.3B), citing tariff and trade uncertainty. Investor Risk Alerts: Multiple securities-fraud investigations and class-action deadlines are active across names like Smartsheet, Genius Group, N-able, Exelixis, Onterris, UWM and HDFC Bank. Crypto Flows: Avalanche (AVAX) slips as altcoins weaken, but whale activity and RWA activity keep traders watching key support near $6.25.
