About the episode
The Australian share market saw only modest gains on Thursday, with investor enthusiasm muted as financial stocks took the spotlight amid mixed earnings reports. Meanwhile, global attention turned to a potential US-UK trade deal teased by Donald Trump and an uneventful US Fed meeting that left interest rates unchanged but warned about the risks of tariffs. Despite weak energy prices, industrials, tech, and utilities sectors posted gains, helping the market tread water ahead of Macquarie's earnings and a Bank of England rate decision.
