Market commentary
Global infrastructure stocks held up well in January delivering a positive return in A$ terms in contrast to the widespread sell-off across broader global equity markets. Sentiment wavered amid expectations the US Federal Reserve would tighten monetary policy faster and more aggressively than previously anticipated in response to the highest US inflation rate in 40 years and growing labour shortages.
In this environment, investors pivoted from growth to more cyclical and value-oriented assets, including infrastructure stocks. Midstream energy benefitted from rising energy prices as fears grew that Russia would invade Ukraine leading to major supply disruptions.
Local shares plunged -6.4% over the month demonstrating the portfolio diversification benefits of global listed infrastructure for Australian investors.
