The following two infographics highlight quarterly movements in the economy and investment markets across Australia and New Zealand.
Over the Quarter:
- Australian and New Zealand unemployment rates increased by 0.3% over the quarter to June 30th.
- The AUD and NZD both strengthened against the USD.
- Australian and New Zealand equities fell, while the S&P500 increased by 4.28%. Volatility has widened slightly.
- Gold has increased, while oil has had a small decrease this quarter. Iron Ore and Milk (for our NZ friends) have trended up.
- Annual inflation continues to fall but remains sticky. Yields for Australian and New Zealand 10-year bonds both increased, as did US 10-year bonds. US 10Y/2Y spreads tightened to almost zero at -0.01.
