Sky News contributor Peter Switzer says it’s possible the ASX will fall today amid a spike in COVID-19 cases nationwide.

New cases have been reported in Queensland, the Northern Territory, New South Wales and Western Australia. Parts of the Northern Territory have entered a 48 hour lockdown - with five new cases connected to a worker at a mine in Central Australia.

Western Australia and Queensland have also tightened restrictions after reporting new cases - while Greater Sydney began a two week lockdown from 6pm on Saturday. “Some stocks lose and some stocks gain. It’s going to be 50-50 and I suspect there will be a bit of negativity,” Mr Switzer told Sky News.

Pandemic will have a ‘very significant impact’ on Australia going forward | Sky News AustraliaTreasurer Josh Frydenberg says the pandemic will have a “very significant impact” on the nation going forward - ahead of the release of the fifth Intergenerational Report which forecasts deficits for the next 40 years. \n\n“Our population will be smaller than initially thought because of what the consequences of the pandemic has led to,” he said. \n\n“Namely the closed borders and the fact that migration has fallen, and population growth has fallen to its lowest level in 100 years.\n\n“We also have an aging population which is also going to put particular pressures on both the expenditure and the revenue side.\n\n“But when you look at our debt levels, they still remain low by international standards - about half of what it is in the United Kingdom and the United States and less than a third of what it is in Japan.\n\n“That being said, we continue to extol the importance of being fiscally disciplined.\n\n“What the report does show is that the economy continues to grow despite the challenges we face.'\n JoshFrydenberg LNP will forever be known now as ‘debt & deficit disaster’. JoshFrydenberg Our very own Nostradamus. What a long viewed projection. Can he tell us who'll win the next election? JoshFrydenberg
