CommSec Market Update

Market Close 05 Sep 24: Ai boom drives tech stocks higher

The ASX 200 has bounced back, breaking a three-day losing streak amid a strong start to November, fuelled by positive U.S. market performance and widespread sector gains. Most sectors surged, though energy and materials lagged due to global economic strains, notably from China. Noteworthy updates included Westpac’s financial results, with a slight dip in annual profit but a promising dividend increase, and Telix Pharmaceuticals’ 3.5% rise following policy changes that benefit its cancer diagnostics. Meanwhile, Mineral Resources and The Star Entertainment struggled amid management issues and financial challenges. This critical week also brings interest rate decisions from the RBA and global central banks, plus U.S. elections, setting the stage for potentially heightened volatility.

Morning Report 04 Nov 24: US stocks end higher just days before the US election

It's been a challenging start to the month for Aussie stocks, with the ASX 200 closing down after early morning volatility. Global influences weighed on the market, especially disappointing profit reports from major U.S. tech companies. Investors are also on edge ahead of the U.S. election and central bank interest rate decisions in Australia and the U.S., both potentially stirring up more market movement. Domestically, property prices in Sydney fell for the first time in nearly two years, reflecting affordability issues and high rates. Sectors like energy and mining made modest gains, while financials and healthcare took hits.
