Markets as at the end of May

As at the 31 May 2022

Observations from May.....
 
Reversing some relative outperformance in April, Australian shares were down 2.6% versus US markets (excluding the tech heavy NASDAQ) that were broadly flat for the month. Driving the sell off was the Reserve Bank's decision to kick off a monetary tightening cycle with a 25 basis point hike in the cash rate to 35 basis points. This pushed 12-month forward interest rate futures to 3.5% which proved a real headwind for almost all sectors. The Property sector was the worst performer, closely followed by Technology stocks that continued to re-price lower as well.

US earnings and outlook statements seemed to have a more direct flow through to individual names on our market. Woolworths was down 10% for the month after US retailers expressed caution around wages and profit margins, whilst Goodman Group was off 14% after Amazon reported slowing e-commerce growth.

Focal Point - End of Financial Year

With the end of financial year fast approaching, it is an important time to be reviewing super contribution opportunities before the new financial year commences.

Additionally, those in receipt of a super pension may be required to confirm that the minimum amount has been withdrawn.

Within this Focal Point paper we provide an overview of some of the main actions superannuation members could consider over coming weeks.
