Morning Report 13 Nov 24: Stocks fall for the first time since US election

There was a modest dip in the Aussie Market today, driven by declines in the energy and materials sectors due to falling commodity prices. While overall market losses were cushioned by gains in tech stocks, weak performance in gold miners, particularly after the U.S. election, impacted the market. Paladin Energy, a uranium miner, saw a sharp 28% drop due to production issues. Aristocrat Leisure hit a record high but dropped after announcing the sale of a gaming subsidiary. The financial sector held steady, though NAB faced downward pressure trading ex-dividend. U.S. markets, by contrast, continued upward, with the S&P 500 and NASDAQ up. Key factors to watch included Fed official speeches, ANZ's ex-dividend trading, and anticipated wage data, providing insights into economic health and market sentiment.

Market Close 12 Nov 24: Commodities slump and ASX follows 

It has been a bleak start to the week with the materials sector weighing on the market. Laura and Stevie unpack this performance and the part that recent announcements out of China played in this.  They reflect on the performance of US markets following the election, and the performance of each of the sectors locally which was a mixed bag today.  Resolute got some attention today, as did HMC Capital, and they look at what to expect as the week continues.
