Weekly Insights
The Australian stock market had a volatile but modestly positive week, with the S&P/ASX 200 ending higher despite mid-week losses and sector pressures.
Defence and uranium-related names shone on Friday. DroneShield Limited surged topping gainers amid strong investor interest.
Energy, tech, and some resources faced pressure earlier, influenced by global AI valuation concerns, softer oil prices, and commodity fluctuations.
Gold held firm (near record highs), but oil and iron ore showed weakness at times.
The ASX300 is on track for its weakest annual gain in three years, weighed by interest rate sensitivity and shifts away from large caps.
