Market commentary
Australian shares had a solid end to the 2024 financial year, with the S&P/ASX 200 Accumulation Index
gaining +1.0% in June. Despite ending the month in positive territory, the share market was characterised by
considerable volatility driven by largely macroeconomic factors, including Australia’s higher-than-expected
inflation reading, which increased the prospect of interest rate increases.
Broadly speaking, large-cap stocks outperformed their mid and small-cap counterparts in June. Australia’s
big four banks led the way, while the mining sector dragged the Index down due to falling iron ore prices.
