Market overview for August 2024, including a market commentary to cover the past year to 30 June 2024.

Our monthly overview looks back at what happened in markets in August 2024. Below are key highlights to take note of: 

  • Equities and bond markets both generated positive returns to portfolio performance. However, this masks what was a period of intra-month volatility (most notably in early August). You can find out more about the period of volatility here.

  • The Federal Reserve continued to signal strongly that an interest rate cut will come in September. This helped to drive positive bond performance over the month.

We also provide market commentary to cover the past year to 30 June 2024.
