About the episode

The Australian share market ended the week flat despite a slight lift on Friday. Investors remained cautious as global trade tensions dominated headlines, with a new US-UK trade deal sparking optimism and US-China tariff talks looming over the weekend. The market’s biggest movers included tech stocks, financials, and energy shares, while materials lagged due to falling gold prices. Looking ahead, key data releases from China and Australia—including inflation, jobs, and wages—alongside major events like the RBA interest rate decision and US economic reports, are set to drive market sentiment in the week ahead.   The content in this podcast is prepared, approved and distributed in Australia by Commonwealth Securities Limited ABN 60 067 254 399 AFSL 238814.
