Investment Outlook: June 2020
Local and international markets have marked time in recent weeks as investors wait to see how the coronavirus outbreak will develop and what its ultimate impact will be.
On the plus side, with supportive economic policies put in place and preventative measures such as lockdowns and social distancing, it is plausible that we are at or near the low point of the global economic cycle.
