The Aussie market clawed back last week’s losses as a resurgence in Materials and Health Care offset a late fade in the banks. Insurers were hammered by fresh AI disruption fears, following the US launch of an AI-powered comparison tool by Insurify, which sparked a heavy sell-off for local companies like Steadfast and IAG. In the resources space, Uranium stocks and BHP advanced, and Pilbara Minerals also found support after locking in a major lithium offtake agreement. However, G8 Education crashed nearly 20% after scrapping its dividend and flagging a massive $350 million write-down. Attention now pivots to a high-stakes Wednesday, with CBA and CSL set to headline the busiest day of the reporting season so far.
