The Match Out: A late rally can’t save the ASX, lower again to end a soft week

Materials were once again weighing on local equities today, resigning the index to a fourth consecutive decline. An honourable fightback late in the day did see the ASX200 finish 20pts above the day’s low, and winners and losers were almost split evenly from a sector and stock point of view. The ASX200 finished down -122pts/-1.67% for the week with Energy the only sector to finish higher.

The Match Out: A strong USD weighs on shares while BHP trades ex-dividend

Shares were under pressure from the get-go as strong US economic data overnight put upward pressure on interest rate expectations, downward pressure on the Aussie dollar and an appetite to sell for equity markets. The ASX200 fell for the third consecutive session for the first time since early July, though the final result was impacted by a number of stocks paying some chunky dividends

The Match Out: ASX rallies, Uranium stocks lead

The ASX opened with a bang this morning hitting a high of 7340, up 62pts before giving back 1/3rd of the gains as the day progressed. Still, with no US trade tonight and a fairly quiet day volume-wise, the direction of least resistance continues to be up led by a resurgence in the Energy and Materials sectors.

The Match Out: ASX finishes soft month on the front foot

Today marks the end of FY23 reporting, although there will be a few stragglers that come out late, normally with bad news! Interestingly enough, the only two sectors to finish higher during August were discretionary retail (+4.64%) and property (+0.99%), the two sectors that many fingered as having most risk ahead of results! Further still, the defensive/safe Utilities & Staples were the two weakest links, showing the importance of retaining an open mind, particularly in this market.

The Match Out: ASX storms higher on growing signs interest rates have peaked!

Bang! Weak building approvals and a softer-than-expected read on inflation had the bulls charging today, and an already positive lead from the US overnight on weaker jobs data was supercharged by our own soft economic reads at 11.30 a.m., which should see the RBA hold fire from here, making 4.1% the peak in interest rates!

The Match Out: ASX rallies as some of the dogs start to bark!

The majority of companies have now reported and while we hate using the old cliché, its been better than feared, much like the broader economic outcomes that have played out over the past year which has prompted a more aggressive stance by central banks globally – the imminent recession is getting less airtime and markets are reflecting that. As we’ve written at nauseum over recent months, we’re neutral at the index level but that belies significant action that’s unfolding under the hood, a theme we expect to continue, creating a great environment for stock picking, as long as you pick the right stocks!

The Match Out: ASX up, Fortescue (FMG) gets yet another CEO

A solid session to kick off the new week despite a mixed bag on the reporting front as we transition down the market cap spectrum over the next week. So far, results have been better-than-expected with earnings beats outnumbering misses 5:3, however there is growing uncertainty around what comes next and that’s filtering into softer guidance in aggregate for FY24, prompting downgrades.
