Market commentary
The S&P/ASX 200 Accumulation Index was down sharply over the month as many growth companies, which had been previously trading
on very high valuations, were marked down significantly as investors reassessed these valuations as interest rates started to rise in the US.
Concerns about high valuations were further exacerbated by continued hostile trade discussions between the US and China. As a result,
the S&P/ASX 200 Accumulation Index was down 6.1% in October. Large falls were in evident in previously very strong sectors: Information
Technology (down 11.2%, although up 17.7% over the year to end October), Energy (down 10.5%, although up 15.3% over the year) and
Healthcare (down 7.0%, although up 23.7% over the year).
