Market Close 31 Jul 25: Four months of gains for Aussie stocks

The month has ended up overall.  Laura and Stevie reflect on four months of improvements despite the local market dropping slightly today.  US interest rates are back in the conversation and trade deals remain in focus with South Korea the latest to make a deal and the deadline set for tomorrow with many still to announce deals.  Locally, only two of the sectors fell today, and it was largely mining that weighed on the market following data out of China and talk of copper tariffs from President Trump.  Flight Centre saw significant declines today, the tech sector hit record highs, and Laura and Stevie look to the day ahead.
