From Mark's desk
The talk in the capital markets has been around the increase in inflation (7.0% annual change March quarter 23), the increase in the cash rate (4.10%) and whether the economy will go into recession and now there is discussion around “spiralling wage increases” given the increase in the minimum wage and award wages (Financial Review 9th June).
This has led to general investor confidence from both a company and consumer point-of-view to be subdued. This uncertainty while unwelcome, creates a range of opportunities for companies and investors alike.
Asset values have seen volatility and this provides opportunities for investors eg. tech valuations have generally decreased; and rising interest rates are providing better yields for investors. On the company side we are seeing re-finance opportunities, acquisitions and opportunities for investors where companies are needing capital and asset values have fallen.
