Despite the high levels of uncertainty in global markets generated primarily from ongoing tariff policy announcements from the US the

S&P/ASX 200 Accumulation Index was up 4.2% by the end of the month. This increase followed a strong market in April.

Most sectors were up over the month with the largest increase coming from the Information Technology sector which was up 19.8%. Other

sectors to enjoy strong increases were Energy, up 8.6%, Financials up 5.1% (driven largely by the Banks), Communication Services, up

5.5%, and Industrials up 4.4%.

As a sign of heightened risk in markets gold was up 10.5% for the month and is up a staggering 76.2% for the financial year to date.

The weakest sectors through this strong market were Utilities, up 0.3%, Consumer Staples, up 1.2%, Healthcare, up 1.6% and Materials up

1.8%.
