Market overview
Australia’s equity market had a negative start to the new calendar year with the S&P/ASX All Ordinaries Accumulation Index (‘Index’) falling 2.9% dragged lower by a range of factors including a series of company downgrades, the wind-down of the United States’ Quantitative Easing (‘QE’) program, slower than expected growth in China and the spread of the socalled emerging markets crisis.
To date, volatility has characterised equity markets in February with the Index up 2.3% after dropping almost 2.0% in the first two sessions of the month. The interim reporting season is now underway with company results so far mixed. Our expectation over the coming weeks is for generally reasonable profit announcements with many companies reporting a second half skew to their earnings. Over coming weeks, we will be closely monitoring companies’ ability to achieve earnings growth which, in our view, will be key to the Australian market edging higher.
In the medium to longer term, we have a bullish view of the equity market contingent on an increase in economic activity driven by record low interest rates. In the immediate term, we continue to have a cautious view of equities and our outlook for global and local sharemarkets remains subdued. We anticipate flat performances this calendar year with the majority of the economic recovery already priced in to current stock values. Despite this, we are confident that prevailing market conditions will continue to give rise to a range of opportunities and, with a strong cash weighting, the investment portfolio is well positioned to seize on these opportunities.
