Why Australian equities?
We expect that Australian shares will continue to outperform those in the US given that inflation is also higher in the US than in Australia. In addition, the nation’s largest companies are the big miners and other ‘value’ shares which are relatively more resilient to inflation and higher bond yields.
Some summary comments are as follows:
- Australia – a beneficiary from inflation primarily through hard and soft commodities.
- Commodities an obvious winner – significant benefit across the economy as national income and terms of trade rise.
- Debt to GDP ratio manageable especially relative to other developed nations.
- Access and benefit from Asia and the rise of India and China.
- A safe haven from the Ukraine war both through geography, independency and as an economic beneficiary - eg wheat, oil, gas, commodities etc
