At the end of each week, Mike Hosking takes you through the big-ticket items and lets you know what he makes of it all. 

 

Donald Trump: 3/10 

Possibly a worse week than last week. His airports are jammed, he’s desperate for a war off-ramp, he lost another seat to the Democrats, mortgages are up, recession risk is up, and he can't jawbone oil anymore because no one believes him. 

 

$50: 6/10 

It gets a decent mark because of its restraint and fiscal realism and perhaps, at last, we finally have a government that realises spraying money we don’t have is a path to ruin. 

 

EVs: 8/10 

It's still way too early, but first data this week shows this could be a tipping point. The market has moved. Is it permanent? 

 

Lotto: 5/10 

I have no idea whether more balls are more fun, but I occasionally see a queue at the dairy on jackpot weekend, so a decent chunk of the country is still into it. 

 

The Warriors: 9/10

The best start ever. Ever! Decades in the competition and we have never been better than this.
