The markets in 2022 so far have been mainly influenced by rising inflation and Central Bank monetary policy.

The central banks around the world have commenced raising interest rates. The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) has raised rates from 0.10% to 0.85% – and foreshadowed further rate rises over coming months.

This video looks at these factors – and also the very steep rise in bond rates over recent months.

A reminder to continue to focus on your long term investment strategy. Market corrections are a normal part of investment market cycles.
