CommSec Market Update

Morning Report 12 Sep 24: Inflation data dents hopes for a big Fed rate cut

The Aussie market hit a four-month low today, dropping 0.8% to conclude its third consecutive week of declines. It has now shed over 8% in March as the conflict near Iran enters its 20th day, sparking fears of the worst monthly performance in years. While Healthcare and Energy offered defensive cover, Financials and Materials led a late-session slide into a "sea of red." The month's stark divide continues: Energy is up 16% on high oil prices, while Materials has plunged 19%. Retailer Premier Investments mirrored the volatility, jumping 8.5% on results before finishing down 4.5%. With oil near $107, focus shifts to next Wednesday's inflation data for May rate hike clues.

Steve Daghlian and Laura Besarati are Market Analysts at CommSec. Each episode, they break down the day's market movements and explain what the numbers really mean.

Morning Report 20 Mar 26: Markets fall as Iran war escalates

The Aussie share market tumbled today, dragged lower by global uncertainty and Middle East tensions, with the ASX 200 falling to its lowest level in months. Energy was the sole bright spot, surging as oil prices jumped to near 12-year highs. Investors also digested a stronger-than-expected jobs report, which raised the likelihood of further rate hikes from the RBA. With central bank meetings continuing worldwide, volatility remains elevated.
