Looking to get back into the market

I sold my shares back in February at a slight loss so yes I know I could have been up by now.

But anyway, I’m looking to get back into the market, just with an ETF probably. I would prefer to invest in stocks but I’m from Australia and with all the fees and charges to do with FX and commission on shares, I don’t feel it’s worth it.

I’m looking to get an S&P 500 index I can get in Australia.

I don’t have a lot of experience and I’m wondering what people think the trajectory of the stock market will be given interest rate rises, inflation, and the economy.
