Focus: Australia

Market Close: Thu, 08 January 2026

Daily Insights

At market close, Australian equities registered modest advances amid selective sector rotation. Information technology and communication services demonstrated strength, reflecting improved momentum in risk-sensitive areas, while materials encountered headwinds from commodity pressures. 

Standout performers included Mesoblast (up 9%) and ZIP Co (up 7%).

The market shrugged off broader concerns, including warnings from the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) about potentially overvalued financial markets.

An exclusive interview with RBA Deputy Governor Andrew Hauser highlighted risks from persistent inflation and geopolitical factors, though no immediate policy shifts were signaled.

Overall, it was a positive but unremarkable session.
