How markets helped your super grow
Investment markets delivered positive returns over the June quarter, despite some uncertainty overseas, changing energy prices and shifting expectations for interest rates.
Global shares were supported by solid corporate earnings, continued investment in artificial intelligence (AI) and data-centre infrastructure however, performance varied across regions and sectors as markets remained sensitive to inflation data, central bank commentary and developments in the Middle East.
Some technology-linked Asian markets did well, while parts of Europe were more affected by energy costs and softer company earnings.
Staying steady through changing conditions
Australian shares were supported by resilient company fundamentals and stronger commodity-linked sectors earlier in the quarter, although investor sentiment remained cautious.
Higher interest rates, mixed consumer spending and cost-of-living pressures continued to affect households and businesses.
Resource and energy-related companies were affected by swings in oil and commodity prices, while defensive sectors provided some stability as investors balanced growth opportunities against inflation and policy risks.
As the chart below illustrates, the peak price for Brent crude oil reached $126.41 per barrel on 30 April, driven by geopolitical tensions.
Following this peak, prices declined to the $70–$80 per barrel range by the end of the quarter.
These movements can influence company earnings, inflation and investment markets, which is why CBUS continues to manage your super across a broad range of investments.

Inflation and rates remained key market drivers
Inflation and interest rate expectations remained central to market performance. This quarter reinforced that markets can recover even when headlines remain uncertain.
While higher interest rates continued to weigh on parts of the economy, corporate earnings and long-term growth themes helped support risk assets.
In Australia, the RBA kept the cash rate steady in June while continuing to work toward its inflation target.
Focused on long-term outcomes
While markets will always move up and down, super is a long-term investment. CBUS manages your savings with a diversified approach, investing across a range of assets to help manage risk and capture opportunities as markets change.
