Market overview

March saw positive gains on the Australian share market with the S&P/ASX All Ordinaries Accumulation Index ending the month up 4.7%. During the month the US Federal Reserve said there would be fewer rate hikes this year than they previously anticipated, citing increasing risks to global growth. The US Fed’s ‘dovish’ comments, coupled with the European Central Bank’s latest measures to stimulate growth in the Euro Zone, led global equity markets to rally, while having a softening effect on the greenback.

Locally, the big four Australian banks weighed on the market towards the end of March with Australia and New Zealand Banking Group (ASX: ANZ) and Westpac Banking Corporation (ASX: WBC) confirming their bad debt provisions were increasing mostly due to exposures in the resources sector.

While Australia’s share market remains in the midst of a bear market, which began in February this year, we continue to find investment opportunities. We believe we are nearing the end of the current bear market and, given the market historically rebounds sharply after reaching its low point, we anticipate opportunities will present themselves. Our above-average cash weighting positions us well to capitalise on prevailing market conditions.
