Morning Report 08 May 23: US employment figures create inflation headache

The ASX200 nudged up about 0.8 per cent after a choppy session, driven by US markets rallying on President Trump’s withdrawal of European tariff threats and a surprise boost in Australian employment. 65,200 jobs were added in December, lifting the market’s view of a February rate rise to roughly 60 per cent. Materials and tech led the losers, while energy, financials and miners showed gains. Looking ahead, the RBA’s Feb 3 meeting, US PCE inflation data and the Bank of Japan’s rate decision are set to shape market direction.

Morning Report 22 Jan 26: Wall Street rebounds from ‘Sell America’ sell-off

The Aussie market slipped for a third day as escalating US-Europe trade tensions sparked global jitters. While a heavy Wall Street sell-off pressured Financials and Tech, the ASX 200 showed resilience as Materials and Energy sectors rallied. Gold and silver hit fresh record peaks, fueling surges in Northern Star, Evolution, and Westgold, while Paladin Energy jumped 13% on a strong quarterly update. However the banks dragged the index lower, led by a 2.2% fall in CBA. A major highlight was Australian Strategic Materials, which skyrocketed 118% following a US takeover bid. Looking ahead, local jobs data, a wave of quarterly reports from Fortescue and Santos, and Trump’s appearance at Davos all shape the next 24 hours.
