The RBA lowered the cash rate in May for the first time in 12 months to 1.75%, with the resulting rally in Australian bonds underpinning a demand for equities.

The S&P/ASX 300 Accumulation Index continued its climb from its February lows, adding 3.14% in May, with Health Care the top performing sector as regulatory concerns surrounding the Federal Budget were dismissed. Conversely, tempered enthusiasm towards China saw Materials as the key laggard for the month.
