Morning Report 12 Jan 26: S&P 500 ends Friday at another record close

Steve and Laura reflect on the final trading session of 2025, which saw the Aussie market push higher to cap off a third consecutive year of gains. While the final week of trade was relatively subdued, a boost from the Technology and Financial sectors helped the benchmark index finish the year up nearly 6%. Reflecting on 2025, it was a massive year for the Materials sector, which surged 28% behind record-breaking runs in gold and silver, contrasting with a difficult period for Healthcare. Individual standouts included DroneShield, which finished as the year’s top performer, while HMC Capital and Bapcor were among those facing significant headwinds. Looking ahead, quarterly inflation data, central bank pivots from the RBA and the Fed, and the February reporting season all shape the outlook for the start of 2026.
