The Australian market ended a three-day losing streak with a slight lift, supported by steady inflation and employment data that matched expectations. While U.S. inflation data hinted at another rate cut next month, the Australian market remains cautious, expecting no cut until early next year.

Notably, Bitcoin soared to new highs, driven by increased U.S. interest in crypto policy, and several ASX stocks reached record levels. Looking ahead, markets are focused on upcoming economic releases from China, which could influence material stocks tomorrow.

The Aussie market faced a broad-based decline, shedding nearly 0.8% with steep losses across 10 of 11 sectors. The downturn followed last week’s post-election surge, signaling that investor enthusiasm might be cooling. Banks weighed heavily, particularly ANZ, which traded ex-dividend, while Commonwealth Bank reported stable profits but saw shares fall amidst economic concerns. Sectors like materials and consumer staples also suffered, pressured by weak commodity prices and global trade worries. Lithium and uranium stocks showed mixed performance; Paladin Energy rebounded, yet several lithium miners faced operational cuts due to low prices. On a positive note, Aristocrat Leisure and James Hardie Industries posted strong results, showing resilience in challenging conditions. The economic outlook remains uncertain, with slower-than-expected wage growth and upcoming jobs data keeping interest rate cuts on the radar.
