Deutsche Bank says investors should capitalise on the Australian sharemarket’s five per cent decline since late April 2015 and buy stocks that offer value before it rebounds. Deutsche says a number of factors suggest that a pullback was overdue, and it favours non-bank financial stocks such as AMP, IOOF, Challenger and Magellan Financial Group. AMP Capital says global issues could result in further market volatility, although it also expects the Australian bourse to rebound.

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
