Given it’s nearly six months into the year, it’s an ideal time to look at what has transpired over the first half of 2021, and where we expect markets to end up at year end. Many investors continue to ask how far equity markets can run given gains since pandemic lows many months ago.

On Friday, the ASX 200 reached new record highs boosted in large part by miners, oil stocks and banks.
We know that bonds tend not to have the suave or sexiness of equities and crypto. They are just boring interest rate products, right? Well, bonds wield far more influence on global markets than you may realise; they have been the main weapon used by Central Banks globally in 2020 and 2021 in fighting COVID’s impact on economies.
