The ASX200 pushed ever higher last week taking its advance to ~12% year to date but following sharp losses in the US on Friday this week’s going to start off on a very different footing, the SPI futures are calling the local market to open down -1.5% this morning, wiping out over half of the months gains in one fell swoop.
The ASX200 initially ignored a weak lead from US indices yesterday following the Feds announcement that it now expects 2 rate hikes by the end of 2023 - a very logical view in our opinion considering the extremely strong economic recovery over the last year.
The ASX200 continues to grind higher and although it only closed up 6-points yesterday it was the first time we broke above the psychological 7400 barrier as the banks, and especially CBA, continue to rally strongly.
The ASX200 continues to rally steadily with the index challenging the psychological 7400 area in the early afternoon as the +0.9% gain took Junes advance to +218-points / 3%, and we’re still only half way through the month, although I would caution the bulls that we’ve reached MM’s target for June assuming the markets going to maintain the same momentum of the last 4-months.
The ASX200 again posted all-time highs last week as a little profit taking in the banks was more than offset by broad based buying across the market led by the IT Sector as bond yields slipped lower removing the headwind which has been suppressing the growth stocks through most of 2021 – our focus today will be on these very same bond yields which have dictated the sector rotation over the last 6-months.
The ASX200 continues to hover around the 7300 area with stock / sector rotation still the main game in town, Thursday saw funds drift out of the banks and resources into the beneficiaries of lower interest rate such as IT,
The ASX200 started to show a few hairline cracks yesterday with strength early on sold into as ~60% of the index finished lower after hitting another all-time high at 7334.
The ASX200 continues to rally steadily with the seasonal concerns around May well and truly behind us, since Februarys low ~6500 the index has gained well over 3% p.m. with no obvious end in sight, if anything the moves gathering momentum after clearing the 7000 hurdle. Tuesdays 10-point gain wasn’t particularly exciting but with meaningful sellers remaining firmly on the sidelines it’s more a matter of which sectors drag us higher with the IT & Healthcare stocks more recently best on ground i.e. the growth plays.
The ASX200 again scaled fresh all-time highs on Monday but on a day when the banks struggled following regulator AUSTRAC’s investigation into money laundering at National Australia Bank (NAB) it was one step too far for the index to close above 7300.
This morning the ASX200 appears poised to again test the 7300 area, if we assume the local index has already seen its low for June and the last couple of months have set the benchmark for the current breakout by Australian stocks investors should expect to see a test of 7400 in the coming weeks, a move that shouldn’t be hard to comprehend as the banks maintain their bullish charge, the average gain of the “Big 4” in 2021 is already over 28%, and that’s before we even consider their attractive dividends.
