The ASX200 tumbled 1.9% on Wednesday, marking its worst day in five months and extending a four-day losing streak. Faster-than-expected local economic growth dampened prospects of a September rate cut, while global tariff uncertainty, France’s political turmoil, and rising bond yields weighed heavily. All sectors closed in the red, with banks hit hardest, though GrainCorp, Tabcorp and PECSA found support from broker upgrades.
