Markets in the US, Japan, and South Korea have regularly hit new record highs in recent months because of strong demand for high-flying tech and AI stocks, which the Australian market lacks. Since late February, when the US and Israel began their war on Iran, the local bourse has fallen by more than 6 per cent.

- Since the start of the US-Iran war three months ago, the ASX 200 has dropped 6 per cent, while global markets have been consistently hitting record highs. Surging demand for high-growth tech and AI stocks is driving the surge across US, Japanese and South Korean markets — something the Australian market lacks. Moomoo Australia's chief executive Michael McCarthy believes there is a real risk about the profitability of many of these AI companies, which could lead to significant falls on Wall Street in the months ahead. He expects Australian mining and infrastructure stocks to benefit from the "HALO (heavy assets, low obsolescence) trade" in the coming months — and for local investors to favour high-dividend stocks as a result of the Albanese government's proposed changes to capital gains tax (CGT) discount.
