Market Movements and Economic Review - September 2026...

Australia's economic performance over August was characterised by a distinct "two-speed" slowdown, where inflation pressures persisted amidst overall subdued growth. Rapidly rising discretionary spending along with global uncertainties may mean another interest rate rise in September or November.
Global stock markets performed strongly, despite geopolitical tensions and shifting rate hike expectations.

Market Movements and Economic Review - August 2026...

July provided some welcome signs for the Australian economy, with inflation easing more than expected last month, cooling bets of interest rate hikes in the short term.
Globally, shares delivered strong gains and Australian equities reached their highest level since early March.
However, risks remain elevated. Caution in US markets following the Federal Reserve's decision to keep rates on hold tempered sentiment and served as a reminder of lingering inflation concerns.

Market Movements and Economic Review - July 2026...

June delivered a mixed picture for the Australian economy as the new financial year begins. Headline inflation eased, but underlying inflationary measures rose to their highest level in almost two years, reinforcing expectations that interest rates may remain higher for longer.
Domestic data highlighted ongoing structural pressures. Building approvals remained subdued, signalling persistent constraints on housing supply despite strong demand. Consumer confidence weakened, falling 2.9% to 80.6, returning to pessimistic levels after a brief improvement in May.
Australian share markets were volatile, with the ASX 200 moving within a narrow range as investors responded to shifting rate expectations and global uncertainty.
Globally, shares delivered strong gains, however, risks remain elevated. In the United States, concerns about policy direction and financial stability unsettled markets, while geopolitical tensions including the on-again off-again ceasefire in the Gulf continued to cause inflationary and supply risks.

Market Movements and Economic Review - June 2026...

May delivered mixed signals for the Australian economy with inflation easing slightly, although underlying inflation edged marginally higher.
The softer-than-expected inflation data reduced expectations of further rate hikes in the near term.
Australian share markets were volatile. The ASX 200 moved within a relatively narrow range through the month, slipping slightly overall despite periods of strength linked to resources and AI‑related stocks.
Globally, markets continued to be shaped by Middle East tensions and ongoing inflation concerns. US markets made some big gains with the S&P 500 hitting an all-time high in the final days of May, up by just over 28% year-on-year.
