CommSec Market Update

The ASX200 fell about 0.25% to a two month low after the RBA kept rates steady and signalled only one cut in 2026. Material and tech stocks led losses, while financials rose on Westpac earnings. US government shutdown and a 2% tech slide added pressure. Look out for US earnings from McDonald’s, Snap and Novo-Nordisk, plus NAB and Macquarie results this week.
