January 2019 Review - Share markets bounce back strongly

A strong recovery on global equity markets over January saw approximately half of the December quarter decline reversed. Highlights for the month were as follows:

• A significant bounce back occurred across all major world share markets.
• Bond yields continued to drift lower as the U.S. Federal Reserve appeared to soften its stance.
• Lower bond yields resulted in significant gains on listed property and infrastructure markets.
• Commodity prices strengthened as the oil price slide reversed and iron ore jumped suddenly.
