5 Charts Every Investor Should Be Looking At (And How They Impact Your Investments)

Welcome to this week's episode of the Money and Investing Show with Andrew Baxter and co-host Mitch.

What can oil prices tell you about your shares? Why do bond yields matter to your property investments? And what happens when strong company earnings stop exciting investors?

This week, Andrew and Mitch break down the 5 charts every investor should be looking at: oil prices, bond yields, gold, the US dollar, and S&P 500 earnings. They explain how these indicators connect and what they can tell you about inflation, interest rates, investor sentiment, and investment valuations.

Learn how rising oil prices can squeeze company profits and household budgets, why an inverted yield curve attracts attention, and how higher interest rates change the appeal of different assets. Andrew also questions gold’s role as a safe haven and explains why price-to-earnings ratios deserve a closer look before you rely on them.

The conversation brings these relationships back to your portfolio, helping you understand the forces affecting shares, property, and bonds. You’ll hear why a regular weekly check can support clearer investment decisions without following every market headline.

If you want to understand the 5 charts every investor should be looking at, this episode provides a practical starting point for connecting economic signals with your investments.
