We bring you the RIPPL Roundup each month to provide an early market snapshot for New Zealand and Australian financial advisers.
Our Key Observations:
- The Japanese 10 year bond yield is up after the Bank of Japan increased the upper limit of its yield control band to 0.50% on December 20th.
- NZ term deposit rates continue steadily upwards, whilst Australian rates have flattened.
- Outside of cash, the Bloomberg Global Agg. Bond index was the only other positive returning asset for the month, ending one of the worst years for global bonds in history.
- For the 2022 calendar year, the only positive assets were cash and commodities.
