Market commentary
The S&P/ASX 200 Accumulation Index was strong through the month of July with all sectors enjoying gains. The Reserve Bank of Australia
continued to cut rates during the period, with the cash rate reduced by 25bps to a record low of 1.0 per cent.
This continued to help drive the market to close to all-time highs with the strongest sectors for the month being Consumer Staples
(up 9.8 per cent), Healthcare (up 5.9 per cent), Information Technology (up 5.0 per cent) and Consumer Discretionary (up 4.9 per cent).
The other notable feature of the market was a number of perceived high growth stocks continued to rally through July following a strong
lift in their already high valuations.
The gold price also continued to rise through the period as trade and currency disputes dominated geopolitical settings. This helped produce
a recovery in the small and mid-cap resources sectors which were up 7.9 per cent and 6.1 per cent respectively over the month of July.
