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.

Morning Report 21 Jan 26: 'Sell America' trade wipes out S&P 500’s 2026 gains

The Aussie market slipped for a second day as global investors braced for a volatile US reopening following President Trump’s latest tariff threats regarding Greenland. Materials and Financials led the declines, with BHP weighed down by rising project costs despite record production, and ARB tumbling 12% on a profit downgrade. In contrast, Utilities found support through Origin Energy, which delayed its Eraring plant closure to bolster supply stability, while Hub24 and Telix Pharmaceuticals gained on positive corporate news. Precious metals remained a standout as gold and silver hit fresh record highs amid ongoing geopolitical tensions. Looking ahead, the return of US trade, Netflix earnings, and a wave of local quarterly reports from Northern Star and Evolution all shape the next 24 hours.
