As of 31 July 2021 Market overview In a month with a lot of noise and very little information, bond yields dropped in For more information on our Funds, July and share markets generally climbed slightly. Gold bounced as, along with please contact: bonds, the metal benefited from safe-haven status as the market see-sawed from fears of inflation to fears that the growth resurgence may not last (fuelled by Delta David Boyle variant scare stories). Head of Sales & Marketing During August, many NZ and Australian companies will report their June year Level 29, SAP Tower results and take the opportunity to update investors with outlook statements. The 151 Queen Street, Auckland US reporting season is already well underway and has been strong in terms of New Zealand reported results. Outlook statements have been a little cautious, and we expect a P 0800 646 833 similar vein to prevail in Australasia this season – earnings growth for the year E [email protected] should generally be strong. However, with central banks slowly removing www.mintasset.co.nz monetary accommodation and businesses facing rising cost pressures FY22, we expect some conservatism in outlook statements. The NZ market fell slightly (on the last day of the month in fact). Real Estate stocks were stronger on some expectation that a few of the NZ REITs could be added to the FTSE / NAREIT global index. Z Energy held a relatively upbeat investor day, and Mainfreight delivered again with very positive comments at their AGM. Kathmandu and NZ travel related stocks suffered from the lockdowns in Australia. The Australian market was up slightly, led by Materials and Industrials with Tech and Energy lagging.
