The Aussie market kicked off the week with a strong gain, having its best session in more than three weeks after lifting about three quarters of a percent. Confidence improved after reports the 40-day US government shutdown could soon end, and China eased export restrictions on some metals. Tech, energy and mining stocks led the way, while ANZ rose more than 3% after posting full-year results that showed profit down 14% but a steady dividend. Liontown, Dyno Nobel and Monadelphous were also standouts. Tomorrow brings updates from CBA and Bendigo Bank, plus a busy run of company AGMs ahead of Aussie jobs data on Thursday and key Chinese data on Friday.

Morning Report 08 Dec 25: US stocks hold gains as Fed countdown begins

Stevie and Laura wrap up a quiet first week of December, with the ASX managing a small lift to notch its fourth straight day of gains. Investors worked through mixed local data, including softer GDP but a surprisingly strong jump in household spending has kept rate expectations in focus. Lithium miners were standouts on upgraded demand forecasts, Premier Investments weighed on consumer discretionary after flagging softer earnings, and NextDC climbed after striking a major data centre deal with OpenAI. With the RBA’s decision on Tuesday, the US Fed on Thursday, and key inflation and jobs data on the way, markets are bracing for a big week ahead.
