Factors such as low bond yields and interest rates have promoted renewed support for Australian shares. The domestic sharemarket is also benefiting from historically low interest rates in Europe and the growing trend for self-managed superannuation funds to invest in stocks that offer high yields. Telstra and the Commonwealth Bank are among the stocks that rallied on 27 January 2015, and they now boast a net dividend yield of 4.5 per cent
