The benchmark S&P/ASX 200 gained 6.5 per cent during the September quarter, with Zip Co, Orora and Guzman y Gomez among the best-performing stocks during the period. September was also a strong month for the local bourse, which reached new record highs in seven separate trading sessions and delivered the best return for the month since 2013. However, Jason Steed from JP Morgan is amongst those who believe that the Australian sharemarket may struggle to post further gains, noting that the earnings outlook is relatively weak.
