Market Watch - top 3 themes
PRFA • February 21, 2021
The Top 3 themes that The Market will be watching are:
- Inflation - all things considered the RBA's outlook for inflation in 2021 seems reasonable, however, higher inflation may be a risk for 2022.
- Currency - expectation is that we will see the AUD rising across the first half of the year against the USD and then slipping back in the second half of the year.
- Speed and success of the COVID-19 vaccine rollout - delays, shortages, slow uptake and/or discovery of new variants could derail markets' confidence, but it is expected that vaccination rates (rather than infection rates) will be the new barometer of equity market sentiment in 2021.

Another valuable opportunity is the carry-forward contributions - remembering that unused cap amounts from the 2019-2020 FY will expire after 30 June 2025 - so this is your last chance to use them. Take Advantage of the $20,000 instant asset write-off before 30 June 2025 If you're a small business owner, now is the time to consider investing in new equipment or assets. The $20,000 instant asset write-off has been extended for the 2024–25 financial year — but it expires on 30 June 2025 and there is currently no confirmed extension beyond this date. This applies to assets that are first used or installed ready for use between 1 July 2024 and 30 June 2025. For more, see our attached information , or, call the office - 3391 7566
