Market commentary
Following on from negative returns in December and January, the S&P/ASX 200 Accumulation Index rebounded very strongly with an increase
of 6.0 per cent over the month of February.
All sectors delivered strong returns over the period. Banks were the strongest sector (up 8.5 per cent), as the recommendations from the
Hayne Royal Commission were not as negative for the sector as the market was anticipating. In general, the company reporting season
was mostly positive, with a lift in dividends for many companies. Other sectors to record very strong returns were energy (up 7.9 per cent),
information technology (up 7.6 per cent), consumer discretionary (up 6.6 per cent) and industrials (up 6.3 per cent).
The only sector to record a negative return during February was consumer staples (down 1.5 per cent).
