Market commentary

It was another volatile month for Australian equities as fears of an emerging second wave of coronavirus cases coupled with increasing global

central bank stimulus created uncertain markets. The S&P/ASX 200 Accumulation Index was up 2.6% over the month. However, over the

financial year this Index was down 7.7%, producing its worst performance in a fiscal year since the GFC.

A number of sectors were up strongly over the month, with the strongest being Information Technology (up 6%, up 19.4% for the financial year),

Consumer Discretionary (up 5.4%, up 2.9% for the financial year), Consumer Staples (up 5.1%, up 12.7% for the financial year), Financials

(up 4.4%, but down 21.4% for the financial year) and Healthcare (up 3.5%, up 27.4% for the financial year). Those sectors which produced

negative returns for the month were Energy (down 2.0%, down 28.7% for the year) and Industrials (down 1.3%, down 12.6% for the year).
