Market overview
Global equity markets continued to rally in April, led higher by resource stocks, which rebounded on the back of the strong recovery in commodity prices. The S&P/ASX All Ordinaries Accumulation Index rose 3.2% for the month with gains heavily weighted towards the mining sector. Towards the end of April, the share market was caught by surprise when the Australian Bureau of Statistics reported the weakest core inflation rate since 1983. In response, the Australian dollar fell sharply and in early May the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) reduced the cash rate by a further 0.25%.
Currently, Australia’s economy is being influenced by a range of factors including uncertainty created by the imminent federal election and unseasonably warm weather along the eastern seaboard – a negative for apparel retailers. Other factors including fragile consumer confidence and a slow-down in the housing market, in part due to the banks tightening their lending criteria, are also weighing on the economy. However, we anticipate the RBA’s recent decision to cut official interest rates by 25 basis points will have a stimulatory impact on the economy. While rates remain low by historical standards, the central bank has scope to reduce rates further to encourage fiscal growth.
We continue to hold above-average cash levels that ensure we are well placed to take advantage of opportunities as they arise in the market.
