New years resolutions, downsizer contributions and market update

In this months newsletter we explain the benefits of 'downsizer contributions' to superannuatiion which some of you may be able to utilise from 1 July 2018 if you are selling your family home.

Also included is this months market update. US employment and wage indicators led to a more "inflationist" view, with a rise in yields pre-empting future Fed tightening.

And lastly, it's not too late to come back to those New Years Resolutions to get things in order prior to the end of the financial year as you maximise your super contributions.

As always, if you have any questions or comments please email me or give me a call.

Regards,

Charmaine

ThreeSixty Research Market Update - March 2018

Highlights:

Perhaps paradoxically, February’s market turmoil was a response to signs that the global economy is reducing slack.
US employment and wage indicators led investors to take a more “inflationist” view, with a rise in yields pre-empting future Fed tightening.
Price pressures in Europe also appear to be picking up, with PMIs pointing to stronger economic growth in Q1 2018.
The Chinese economy appears to be stuck in neutral, with mixed PMIs and inflation falling to 1.5% year-on-year.
The Australian economy continues to improve, but wages growth remains subdued and the RBA is unlikely to raise rates in the near term.
