Market commentary
Evaporating expectations of further rate cuts and growing fears over the so-called AI bubble weighed on the
Australian market in November. Volatility characterised the performance of the S&P/ASX 200 Accumulation
Index, which generally trended lower before closing the month down - 2.7%. From its all-time high in
October to its low point in November, the Index recorded its sharpest pull-back since April, when markets
globally were roiled by the US ‘Liberation Day’ tariff announcements.
Banks, which have been major drivers of the market’s gains over much of the past year, fell -7.0%. Market
darling, Commonwealth Bank fell -11.2%. Technology stocks were also weak, plunging -11.7%, albeit they
form a relatively small proportion of the local share market. In contrast, Healthcare (+2.0%), Materials (+1.5%)
and Consumer Staples (+1.5%) all finished higher, providing bright spots in an otherwise dour period for
Australian shares. Since month-end, investor confidence has firmed, with the Index posting modest gains.
