Morning Report 23 Feb 26: ASX to react to Trump’s latest tariff move

The Aussie market caught its breath on Friday, finishing almost completely flat after a massive week that saw the ASX 200 finally scale new record heights. While the index took a minor five-point dip today, it still locked in a nearly 2% gain for the week—its best performance since May. Reporting season remained the primary driver of volatility. QBE Insurance surged after a profit jump, while shipbuilder Austal climbed on a new $4 billion ADF contract. However, the retail space was bruised; Guzman y Gomez slumped to a record low despite rising profits. Ingham's also plummeted 13% following a profit warning and dividend cut. With Nvidia and Aussie inflation data on the horizon, the focus now shifts to whether the market can sustain its record-breaking momentum next week.
