It's been a rollercoaster week for the Aussie sharemarket, ending with a drop of around 55 points, breaking a recent winning streak. Despite early-week gains, the market finished down, with mining and banking sectors leading the losses. However, the energy sector was the standout, surging nearly 7% over the week, driven by rising oil prices amid geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. Dividends were also a highlight, with over $11 billion paid out, including major players like BHP and CSL. Looking ahead, key events include US job data, Australian RBA minutes, and more dividend payouts.
