ASX likely to fall off the back of 'tough' reporting season | Sky News AustraliaIt is likely the ASX will drop in the aftermath of what is expected to be a tough reporting season, according to Shaw and Partners’ Adam Dawes. \n\nCompanies listed on the ASX will release their latest financial results from the end of July until the end of August.\n\nThe results are expected to show the economic consequences wrought by the novel coronavirus, which has devastated many businesses.\n\n“I do feel we are going to get some really hard numbers, so that might put some shocks into the financial system,” Mr Dawes told Sky News.\n\n“I do suspect our market will potential come off on the back of some of these results\n\n“We know the numbers are going to be bad, but it’s really about the outlook statements.\n\n“If those outlook statements are going to be pared back, or at the lower end, we are going to see a dip.\n\n“I think the market is a little fatigued and I think we will potentially see a fall in the market after the reporting season at the end of August.”\n This is expected.

Who fabricated and unleased the virus? The Chinese communist party it is.

Aged care is a federal responsibility but no criticism from the feral right because its not Dan Andrews. Media is the virus

Australia needs Trump to win the election because 'we cannot face China alone' | Sky News AustraliaLiberal Senator James McGrath says Australia needs President Donald Trump to win the upcoming presidential election to help it stand up to China. \n\nMr McGrath said China was the “greatest threat to the rules-based order the world is seeing at the moment.”\n\nPresident Trump would be better at dealing with China than presidential candidate Joe Biden because he knows “when you deal with bullies … you don’t give them shoulder massages, you’ve got to stand up to them.” Mr McGrath told Sky news. \n\n“Biden isn’t a foreign affairs hawk, he’s like a foreign affairs budgerigar”\n\nMr McGrath said Australia needed to ensure there was a 'coalition of the willing” standing against China and required the help of a strong president in the White House. \n\nImage: Getty realDonaldTrump I agree. I’m not a fan of Trump. But Biden is a puppet of China when he was VP. He agrees with China and not intend to make China accountable and eventually national security will be at risk. JoeBiden realDonaldTrump lol. What a moron realDonaldTrump Why he would keep standing against C after the election?
