Market commentary

Despite various uncertainties facing the global economy, including the rapid spread of the omicron variant, rising interest rates and higher inflation, global listed infrastructure stocks rallied sharply in December, rising +4.6% in A$ terms.

Gains were widespread with all infrastructure subsectors generating positive returns. Increasing indications that omicron was less severe than delta fuelled expectations of sustained growth with fewer lockdowns and other economic disruptions. This sentiment saw communications (towers and data centres) and gas distribution stocks surge +9.8% and +8.8% respectively to be the best performing subsectors.

Pleasingly, Argo Infrastructure’s share price rose +5.7% to outperform local shares which returned +2.8%.
