The ASX bounced from six-month lows yesterday, staging a strong move as investors piled back into stocks after Nvidia delivered blockbuster earnings that blew past expectations. The update reignited confidence in the AI thematic, helping the local market snap out of its recent slump - lifting nine of eleven sectors into the green. Unsurprisingly, tech was strong, supported by a rally in US futures, although good moves across the resources saw the material sector claim top stop – only just!
The local market spent the morning stabilising after yesterday’s selloff, with Nvidia’s earnings result tomorrow morning remaining in the focus. Strength across energy, gold and defensive names helped the market keep its head above water for most of the morning, until softness prevailed into the close as investors took risk off the table with a volatile session likely in store for tomorrow.
The ASX200 copped a heavy bout of selling today, sliding to a five-month low of 8444 as the market buckled under the weight of RBA inflation commentary this morning, and a thumping sell-off in tech as traders trimmed positions ahead of Nvidia’s make-or-break earnings after-market Thursday morning our time.
The local market looked set for another down day and its fifth straight in the red, before a strong midday rally turned sentiment around. After a ~200-point rout over the past week, the buy-the-dip mentality finally re-emerged as US futures rose, driving the index back into positive territory – albeit, only just.
The Australian market copped another heavy bout of selling today, with sentiment rattled by growing fears that interest rates in both the US and Australia aren’t coming down any time soon. The move follows Wall Street’s largest one-day fall in a month and caps the ASX’s worst week since March.
The ASX200 dropped sharply today, falling to a ten-week low after a strong jobs report dashed hopes of near-term RBA rate cuts, sending the rate-sensitive real estate and tech sectors down. The roaring gold sector provided a buffer, while the psychological 8700 level proved itself as a support, with a broad ~55pt rally softening the blow into the close.
The ASX finished lower today with decent sessions from miners and energy stocks more than offset by weakness in technology and financials, as selling in CBA struck again, capping broader momentum.
The ASX200 wavered through Tuesday’s session, opening up strongly after steps toward a resolution for the U.S government shutdown saw U.S markets rip overnight.
A constructive start to the week underpinned by strength in US Futures on news the Govt shutdown is nearing an end – that supported the risk on trade with the ASX building on gains as the session progressed, fueled by good buying in tech, Gold and Uranium.
Lots of corporate news across the ticker today, most of it was negative. Weaker results from Macquarie, sluggish domestic travel volumes at Qantas, higher costs for Afterpay owner Block, a weaker 2H outlook for advertising business oOmedia, mid-single digit growth (only) for REA Group and a near halving of share price for Alliance Aviation – it’s easy to understand why the market traded lower to end another softer week for equities.
