Welcome to the 209th edition of the Deloitte WA Index, a monthly review of Western Australian stocks and indices.
The aggregate market capitalisation of Western Australian listed companies continued to pull back over the month of May – down 4.4% - to close at $318.0 billion. The decline was consistent with the continued downward pressure on the price of WA-reliant commodities such as iron ore and gold.
Most other global markets rallied towards the end of the month, to close broadly flat, having experienced sharp retractions early in May.
