It seems there is no end to this rally global markets are currently experiencing. They’re going from strength to strength with the Aussie market now up for a fifth straight week. Last week the All Ordinaries finished higher by 3.8% closing at 4,465.1 points whilst the benchmark ASX 200 also closed higher by 3.8% settling at 4,461.0 points. In the past five weeks our market has amassed a staggering 17%!!!
The standout stars last week were clearly the major banks!
ANZ finished up 7.0% to $20.74
CBA finished up 5.8% $47.02
Macquarie finished up 6.9% to $47.01
NAB finished up 8.8% to $27.75
WBC finished up 6.9% to $24.40
The major miners, BHP Billiton, RIO Tinto and Woodside Petroleum all had a relatively flat week closing virtually unchanged.
The burning question is whether or not equity markets can continue to rise over the short term. With such a stellar rise in recent times, it is very possible our market could experience a minor correction; perhaps somewhere in the order of 5% to 8%. With the broader economy continuing to recover, any pullback should see investors accumulate quality assets for the long term.
