The Australian sharemarket has shed 4.4 per cent in the last month, while the S&P 500 is down 1.6 per cent. Meanwhile, Australian and US bond yields are continuing to rise, the Iran war-induced surge in the crude oil price is putting upward pressure on inflation, and there is growing expectation of official interest rate rises in both Australia and the US. Rich Dell from insurance broking and risk management group Marsh says such factors will heighten the risk of a sharemarket correction, and potentially the end of the four-year bull run.
