Some respite across the ASX today with the market bouncing from the bottom of its trading range despite a fairly brutal night across material and energy stocks, both sectors lagged today but the slack was more than taken up by interest rate sensitive names, property stocks enjoyed the pullback in US bond yields which flowed through to our own bond market today while Tech rebounded nicely from an aggressive 3-week, 13% pullback that has improved the risk/reward materially in the number of the large cap names.
Another sell-off today with the ASX hitting the lowest close in 11-months, although the selling is fairly anaemic in nature and on very light holidays volumes, but still, the direction of least resistance has clearly been down since the ASX 200 peaked at the end of July at 7472, now down ~600pts/8% from that milestone, back at the very bottom of its 12-month trading range.
Quite a bizarre day for stocks with the market lower overall, although there were some decent intraday-rallies met with some decent intraday selling; ultimately a very choppy session on low school holiday volumes that saw the ASX 200 track back and test the bottom of its recent trading range – chalking up a 6-month low in the process.
Low volumes seen across the bourse to round out the week. A quiet Friday from the market’s perspective given Melbourne’s public holiday today (and Much of Australia off for Monday). Materials continued to do well, offsetting the Energy sector which gave back some gains after a strong week. A small decline (-20pts / -0.29%) seen on the ASX200 this week.
The ASX200 traded ~25pts either side of yesterday’s close today before closing marginally lower in a choppy session. Resources sectors were the shining light today, Energy and Materials were the only areas of the market to finish higher. Local 2-year bond yields hit 2-month highs today, one of the reasons the broader market was weaker today.
A solid session given the weak leads from the US overnight, inflation came in as expected while we saw some bargain hunting in the property sector with some interesting moves playing out after a tough time.
The ASX attempted to follow the recovery that played out from weakness over the past two sessions, but it was all too much today, weighed by selling across the IT & Resources sectors as China heads towards a week of national holidays, starting on the 29th.
The ASX saw the worst of it early, down nearly 50 points before another spirited recovery ensued, in quiet trade, impacted by School holidays overlapping with the Rugby World Cup. Many Fundies no doubt wish they stayed on the desk rather than witness the Wallabies limp out in the pool rounds!
The ASX200 traded below the 7000 level this morning for the first time since March as the risk-off trade continued after the Hawkish update from the Fed yesterday, but a huge intra-day turnaround took hold and the ASX200 ultimately finished marginally higher, rallying 111pts from the morning lows which was simply a phenomenal effort! The intra-day buying helped snap a 4-day losing streak, though the index fell by -210pts/-2.89%.
The ASX was knocked today, following Asian markets deep into the red after the US Federal Reserve held rates unchanged overnight, but kept the door ajar for another hike this side of Christmas. While there wasn’t a lot of new news coming from Jerome Powell and co, the dot plot projections implied that rates are unlikely to be cut by as much as previously thought during 2024, and that has rattled markets.
