Market commentary

The Australian equity market continued its climb over the year with the S&P/ASX 200 Accumulation Index up 2.3 per cent over June. This was

despite some concerns about a re-emergence of inflation in the US and secondary outbreaks of the Delta COVID variant in Australia. Over

the twelve months to 30 June the S&P/ASX 200 Accumulation Index produced a very strong return of 27.8 per cent, one of the strongest

in history.

Most sectors produced positive returns for the month of June. The strongest sectors for the month were Information Technology, which

rebounded from the previous month’s negative return, to be up 13.4 per cent, Communication Services, up 5.6 per cent and Real Estate,

up 4.8 per cent.

Banks were one of the few sectors that produced a negative return, down 1.3 per cent, for the month. This monthly performance however

needs to be set in the context of their very strong performance over the year to June, up 51.3 per cent, to be the strongest performing sector

for the year.
