Market Close 28 May 25: US gains fail to boost Aussie stocks

The ASX200 logged a fourth consecutive day of gains, up about 1.5% this week and 1.6% month‑to‑date, while the materials sector led with an 8% YTD rise and a 1% daily boost. Tech slipped 2.2% and Aussie Broadband fell 4.5%. BHP rallied 8% as its gap with CBA closed, and lithium miners surged, highlighted by Liontown’s 42% YTD jump. Looking ahead, US earnings, job‑less‑claims data, manufacturing figures and dividend‑paying ETFs will shape market sentiment.
