OPINION

Latest Market Matters Opinions

17/10/2026 08:46

First Up

The ASX 200 finished a volatile week up +1.0%, although the headline gain masked some fairly aggressive rotation beneath the surface. Utilities (+4.5%), Healthcare (+3.9%), Consumer Staples (+3.4%) and Financials (+3.2%) led the market higher, while Materials (-2.3%), Real Estate (-1.7%) and Information Technology (-1.3%) lagged. Investors continued to rotate into some of the more beaten-up and defensive areas of the market, while resources came under pressure.

Question asked 17/10/2026

YEAR TO DATE

Good Morning, Well, it has sometimes felt like the "year of waiting" this year. I'm not a day trader, so I suppose I'm more susceptible to the highs and lows by holding stocks. But the All Ords began the year at 9208 and went through 8686, 9430, 8571 and 9445 to be at 8921 as I write, down about 3%. That to me is very volatile. Is this our market now or do you see things settling down into 2027? Thanks gents.
