Market Movements and Economic Review - July 2026...

June delivered a mixed picture for the Australian economy as the new financial year begins. Headline inflation eased, but underlying inflationary measures rose to their highest level in almost two years, reinforcing expectations that interest rates may remain higher for longer.
Domestic data highlighted ongoing structural pressures. Building approvals remained subdued, signalling persistent constraints on housing supply despite strong demand. Consumer confidence weakened, falling 2.9% to 80.6, returning to pessimistic levels after a brief improvement in May.
Australian share markets were volatile, with the ASX 200 moving within a narrow range as investors responded to shifting rate expectations and global uncertainty.
Globally, shares delivered strong gains, however, risks remain elevated. In the United States, concerns about policy direction and financial stability unsettled markets, while geopolitical tensions including the on-again off-again ceasefire in the Gulf continued to cause inflationary and supply risks.

Market Movements and Economic Review - June 2026...

May delivered mixed signals for the Australian economy with inflation easing slightly, although underlying inflation edged marginally higher.

Australian share markets were volatile. The ASX 200 moved within a relatively narrow range through the month, slipping slightly overall despite periods of strength linked to resources and AI‑related stocks.
Globally, markets continued to be shaped by Middle East tensions and ongoing inflation concerns. US markets made some big gains with the S&P 500 hitting an all-time high in the final days of May, up by just over 28% year-on-year.

April brought a sharper edge to the economic outlook.
The Middle East crisis, inflation, volatile markets and fragile consumer confidence are continuing to weigh heavily on investors. Stocks rallied as hopes for a U.S.-Iran ceasefire grew, only to decline as the Strait of Hormuz remained largely closed. The ASX experienced a volatile month, after a strong mid-month rally became a prolonged losing streak.
Annual inflation surged to 4.6%, up from 3.7%, driven by a 32.8% monthly spike in fuel prices due to Middle East conflict. However, trimmed mean inflation, which is the RBA's preferred measure of underlying inflation, remained steady at 3.3%.
