What Matters Today: Is NVIDIA’s rout creating opportunities across the sector?

The ASX 200 almost managed to recover from early weakness on Thursday, finishing the session on its intra-day high, down just 0.1%. The miners and banks again changed roles, with the materials sector taking 48 points off the market while the financials added 34 points - if they could just rally together, we would be trading at new highs in the blink of an eye.

The Match Out: ASX continues to outperform the US

The ASX finished mildly higher today, impressive given it was down 0.5% early on + Wall Street was on the skids overnight. The ASX 200 has now outperformed the S&P 500 by over 4% in the last 5 sessions as the outlook for interest rates have diverged. Aussie bonds are now pricing in no hikes, and the potential for cuts in 2027, while US bonds are still saying the Fed will hike 2-3 times.

Portfolio Positioning: Hot US inflation will test portfolios today

The ASX 200 surged out of the gates on Tuesday, steadily building on its early gains to finish up +1.1%, helped by broad-based buying with close to 90% of the market’s main board closing higher. The financials took over the baton from the miners in terms of market gains, but only just; the banks & Co added 34 points while the materials sector added 33 points, and importantly, there were no major groups that weighed on the index

The Match Out: Broad-based rally lifts ASX to two-month high

The ASX finished at a two-month high this afternoon as a broad-based rebound in global equities and falling oil prices lifted sentiment. Wall Street had its strongest session since April overnight, with the market swarming back to technology stocks after last week’s sharp sell-off, just as easing crude prices helped take some of the pressure off inflation and interest-rate concerns.

The Match Out: ASX edges higher as miners rebound, ANZ result weighs on banks

Australian shares managed a modest gain after a choppy session as a rebound in miners and technology helped offset pressure on banks and property stocks, with the market still navigating the fallout from last week’s sharp AI-led sell-off on Wall Street. ANZ was the major drag after a softer full-year result which triggered selling across the Big Four, while gold and copper strength supported a recovery across parts of the resources sector.

Macro Monday: What’s next after the RBA Rate Hike and US Blue Wave?

The storming victory by the Democrats in the US, taking both the House and Senate, was largely expected, although the emphatic nature of the result surprised many. It led to investors reassessing the risks around the AI infrastructure buildout - the “picks and shovels trade” was literally hammered.
