The overall return from the S&P/ASX 200 Accumulation Index for October was a modest gain of 0.4%. The volatile move in share prices
across several large companies in the Index led to marked differences in returns across various sectors.
The biggest increase was in the Materials sector, up 4.3%, driven by strong gains in rare earth and critical minerals stocks following a US-
Australia investment agreement. The other sectors to show positive returns were Energy, up 3.7% primarily due to new U.S. sanctions on
Russian oil producers, which boosted crude oil prices and Banks which were up 2.3%.
The biggest falls were in Information Technology, down 8.4%, primarily because of the significant decline in the share price of WiseTech
Global. Consumer Discretionary, down 6.8% as inflation figures released during the month were higher than expected, which produced a
fall in expectations about a more immediate interest rate cut. Healthcare was the other sector to produce a large negative return, down
4.8%, primarily due to a significant downgrade in earnings and revenue forecasts from CSL which produced a marked fall in its share price.
