BlackRock Australian Equity Market Update teleconference
Tuesday 16 September 2008
Recent economic data has provided clear signs that the domestic economy is slowing. The Australian equity market has had a volatile year with the S&P ASX 200 accumulation index falling 13.4% for the financial year ending June 2008, the worst financial year since 1982. The current reporting season will play a crucial role in where the market heads from here and what the drivers are.
Listen to Mark Himpoo and the BlackRock Australian Equity team for our quarterly market update where in addition to our regular overview they discussed:
Key take outs from the recent reporting season
The impact of a lower A$
The 2008 Reporting Season in the context of a changing economic environment
Where will the market go from here?
'Around the grounds’ of market sectors
We closed with a brief overview of the BlackRock Australian Share Fund, and a Q&A session.
