Our highly-rated team of more than 40 analysts - approximately half of whom are ranked in the Top 5 in their sector of specialisation - covers more than 200 stocks, or over 90% of the market.

We continually modify our product range to meet the needs of our growing client base. We were the first research institution to introduce a strategy unit, an internet strategy unit and a quantitative group and the first to combine all analysts' forecasts into one database.

Macquarie Research Equities focuses on four specific areas - Quantitative, Strategy, Industrials and Resources - and produces more than 300 special reports and 1,000 daily articles a year, servicing in excess of 4,000 analysts and corporate personnel globally.

Macquarie Research Foreign Exchange

Macquarie Research Foreign Exchange focuses on currency sensitive issues, particularly relating to the G7 and Australia.

Our research is aimed at fulfilling two distinct client requirements - the need for a quick "snapshot" of breaking developments, as well as strategic medium-term analysis. Our analysts combine market-related experience with a strong economics background, to provide a tailored service for the very specific needs of our foreign exchange clients.

It dovetails well with foreign exchange-related research produced by the Strategy team.

Our daily reports provide overviews of the Australian SPI, SPI Options and Bank Bill Strips, as well as technical analysis of domestic and offshore interest rate products. Daily reports on Hong Kong, Korean and Indian futures and options markets are provided.

Macquarie Research Commodities is our London-based commodities research team, dedicated to providing specialised metals and minerals research and market intelligence. Rated one of the top two teams globally, the Commodities research group is utilised extensively by corporations with exposure to the metals markets, resource portfolio managers and advisory teams.

The research effort covers price forecasts, long-term demand and supply scenarios for each market and the major macro dynamics affecting the metals and mining industry.

The team provides a daily commentary on the base metals, precious metals and bulk materials markets worldwide, which is published within Macquarie Research Equities' daily Essentials report, as well as the widely-read Commodities Forecaster report which summarises our outlook across the commodities.
