Market overview

The poor performance of the Australian equity market continued in September with the S&P/ASX All Ordinaries Accumulation Index falling 2.5%. The first quarter of the 2015-16 financial year was the worst quarter since 2011 with a 5.8% fall. The domestic resources and energy sectors lagged and the banks continued their fall after strong outperformance in recent years.

The Reserve Bank of Australia opted to hold the cash rate steady at its meeting on 6 October 2015. We believe over the next year we will see further reductions to the cash rate. There are growing calls for more interest rate cuts to drive corporate earnings growth and lift consumer confidence given the softness of recent economic data in Australia.
