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 central bank cash rates in the US, NZ, and Canada are higher than the relevant government 10 year bond yield.
- Over the last 12 months, the NASDAQ is the only index with a worse return than the Bloomberg Global Agg. Bond index.
- Aside from cash, only Australian equities and commodities made positive returns over 12 months.
- November saw are broad bounce in returns across multiple asset classes.
- Both the AUD and NZD strengthened against the USD over the month as the US Fed signalled smaller future rate hikes.
