Market Close 11 Sep 25: Aussie market slides for a third time this week

The Aussie market suffered its worst day in about ten weeks on Friday, sliding 1.4% and hitting a four month low as a mix of rate concerns, weak China data and a tech sell-off pushed the ASX lower for a fourth straight session. Tech led the declines with a 4.5% drop, leaving the sector down more than 9% for the week, while the major banks also weighed heavily, including CBA which shed more than 10 percent across the past five days. Energy was the only sector to turn positive late in the day as oil prices bounced after reports of a Ukrainian drone strike on a Russian export hub. China’s latest figures added to the gloom, showing further weakness across investment, property and factory activity. Company news was limited, though Megaport tumbled after a capital raise and DroneShield rebounded slightly from yesterday’s sharp fall. Looking to next week, Nvidia’s results are set to dominate global market sentiment, alongside local wage data, RBA minutes and a busy run of AGMs.

Market Close 14 Nov 25: Worst week for ASX since April

Wall Street fell overnight as tech stocks led a broad selloff, with U.S. Treasuries also stumbling after the government shutdown ended and traders braced for renewed market swings. Cisco bucked the trend, surging after an AI-fuelled outlook beat expectations, while Walt Disney slipped on weaker cable and box office performance. In commodities, oil prices edged higher after steep losses in the previous session, while gold pared gains as rate-cut bets eased. Back home, Aussie shares are set to fall sharply after strong jobs data dampened hopes of near-term rate cuts.
