- Crude oil (OOO) was the top performing asset of the week after the Biden Administration reportedly considered further sanctions on Russia's oil industry. Markets speculate that the current government intends to weaken the Russian war effort as much as possible before the incoming Trump Administration potentially forces Ukraine into a quick and unfavourable deal with Russia.1
- Uranium ETFs (ATOM, URNM) were the worst performers of the week as investors sold down South Korean equities, including major nuclear energy names such as Doosan Enerbility and Hyundai Engineering.2 Rumours also emerged that the Kazakh ANU physical uranium fund may look to liquid its inventory.3
- There were $1.1 billion in reported inflows for the week and $366.6 million in outflows, marking a week of net inflows for the Australian ETF industry.

America’s Infrastructure Report Card in 2025: Still Behind, Still Underfunded
In late March, the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) released its 2025 Report Card for America’s Infrastructure.

A surge in federal and state funding has improved several key infrastructure categories, but the ASCE estimates that $9.1 trillion in investments are still needed over the next decade to further improve, modernise, and maintain critical systems. The Report Card indicates a funding gap of at least $3.6 trillion currently exists which, in our view, points to sizeable opportunities for developers and investors alike.
