September was a month of continuing uncertainty for global markets. The ongoing US-China trade dispute, the looming Brexit deadline and a drone strike on a Saudi Arabian oil processing plant all weighed on financial markets. Despite the uncertainty, US shares were up around 3% for the month, with Australian shares also recording gains of close to 2%.

The RBA cut interest rates to a new record low of 0.75%. The decision was undertaken to support employment and income growth and to provide greater confidence that inflation will be consistent with the medium-term target.
