Market Update June 2011

There seems to be no end in sight to the ongoing sovereign debt concerns plaguing Europe and in particular Greece.

This combined with weak economic data out of the US has weighed heavily on investors minds this month.

The signs that economic expansion in Europe is slowing has also affected us here in Australia with the RBA citing this as one of the reasons for leaving interest rates as they are.

Apart from weather-affected sectors including mining, energy and agriculture, the Australian economy was pretty solid over the quarter. As a long-term investor, it’s important to keep in mind that we can probably expect to see more volatility as global markets work towards a sustained recovery.
