Markets as at the end of February

As at the 28 February 2023

Observations from February.....
After an upbeat start to the calendar year in January, Australian equities retreated last month.
 
As the company reporting season wrapped up, the difficulty in passing on rising costs shone through to earnings numbers.
 
The Reserve Bank of Australia lifted the cash rate for the ninth straight meeting, whilst further increases appear likely in the face of recent inflation readings.
 
The global economy has been surprising resilient, meaning that stronger demand and inflation pressures will likely persist. This is set to increase the time it takes to lower inflation back to target.

Focal Point: $3 Million Super Proposal

The Government recently announced proposed changes to superannuation tax concessions for those with superannuation balances of more than $3 million. The changes are set to come into effect from 1 July 2025. This proposal has received a lot of commentary as further details emerged on how this extra tax could be implemented. This includes calculating the difference in total super balance at the start and end of a year - hence applying tax to unrealised capital gains. Although it may be some time until this legislation gets to Parliament, we have provided a brief summary of the proposal.
