Market overview
The S&P/ASX All Ordinaries Accumulation Index climbed 1.3% in April driven higher by the four major banks as they approached their interim reporting season. During the month, the S&P/ASX All Ordinaries Index reached a six year high with the Index now up 35.6% from its lows of June 2012 and up 14.6% for the financial year to date.
Markets overseas also rose in April. American equities continued to move higher hitting all-time highs in spite of macroeconomic data and the Federal Reserve continuing to taper its Quantitative Easing (‘QE’) program. We believe the technology sector is losing momentum with recent IPOs in the sector performing poorly and high profile stocks, such as Twitter, experiencing volatility. As we foreshadowed following our trip to China earlier this year, the world’s second largest economy is adjusting to a lower growth environment.
In the short term, we maintain a cautious outlook for Australian equities with the Price to Earnings (P/E) ratios of stocks across various industries trading significantly higher than their historical averages. We predict the market will finish the calendar year flat. Subject to growth in economic activity driven by low interest rates, our view of the share market over the medium and longer term is more optimistic. The investment portfolio currently has a cash weighting of 41.2% ensuring the Company is well positioned to seize on opportunities in the market when they arise.
