In the May 2015 edition of the Market Update:

  • Weak US Q1 2015 GDP was impacted by severe weather and port strikes
  • Federal Reserve anticipated to delay decision on interest rate increases – remains data dependent
  • Eurozone being positively impacted from early ECB QE implementation
  • Global oil prices recover, up 25% – suggesting the lows are in place
  • US corporate earnings remain resilient – but impacted by USD strength and weaker oil prices
  • China remains on an easing bias – expecting further monetary stimulus
  • RBA cuts the cash rate to 2.0% at its May meeting and remains on an easing bias
