Dr Shane Oliver, Head of Investment Strategy and Chief Economist takes a look at where we are in the investment cycle.
The key points are as follows:
-
The history of cyclical bull markets in shares suggests that the rebound since last March still has a way to go.
-
But it’s normal for the second 12 months of a cyclical bull market to see slower returns from shares.
-
While shares are vulnerable to a further correction triggered by the spike in bond yields, we are not seeing the sort of unambiguous overvaluation, economic overheating, monetary tightening and investor euphoria normally seen at cyclical tops.
