Tech, healthcare and property trusts provided rare gains, while winners included DroneShield, Life360 and uranium miners.

CommSec Market Update

Market Close 08 Sep 25: Energy stocks drag as ASX dips

Local shares staged a relief rally today, reclaiming ground after yesterday's bruising 2.9% sell-off. Sentiment shifted following comments from President Trump suggesting the Middle East conflict could conclude "very soon," cooling the panic that recently gripped global markets. While the index faded from its morning peaks, it remained firmly in the green as oil prices retreated below $90 a barrel. The Energy sector, yesterday's lone winner, reversed course to lead the declines, with Woodside and Santos sliding as supply fears eased. In contrast, Materials and Financials powered the rebound. BHP snapped a five-day losing streak, while cancer diagnostic firm Telix Pharmaceuticals soared 8% on positive Phase 3 trial results. However, gold miner Pantoro plummeted 22% after a guidance downgrade overshadowed a revenue jump.

Laura Besarati is a Market Analyst at CommSec. Each episode, she breaks down the day's market movements and explains what the numbers really mean.

Morning Report 10 Mar 26: ASX to rebound as oil pares gains

The Australian share market tumbled to its lowest point since December, extending its worst day in nearly a year as Middle East tensions escalated.
