Market commentary

The S&P/ASX 200 Accumulation Index was up 3.3 per cent over the month, with a very strong performance from energy (up 7.8 per cent) as

Crude Oil prices traded higher; WTI Crude Oil reversed May’s losses with a +10.6 per cent rally in June, to trade above US$70/bbl for the first

time since late 2014. Other sectors which advanced through the month included information technology (up 6.3 per cent), consumer staples

(up 6.2 per cent) and utilities, which was buoyed by the takeover bid for APA, (up 6.0 per cent).

Telecommunications, continued to underperform as the Telstra share price continued to fall. This sector was down 5.8 per cent over the month

and 30.9 per cent for the year.

Over the year, the Australian equity market produced a positive return of 13.0 per cent, driven largely by the resources sector (which includes

energy) which was up 40.7 per cent. Within this, the small and mid-cap resources were up 49.0 per cent and 42.3 per cent respectively.
