Focus: Australia

Market Close: Tue, 23 December 2025

Daily Insights

Australian markets advanced steadily today delivering a strong performance in a pre-Christmas session, with the ASX 300 gaining 1.1% amid holiday-season optimism and resilient consumer spending data. 

The rally continued a late-starting "Santa Claus" seasonal uplift, with analysts noting potential for further gains into early 2026. The release of the Reserve Bank of Australia's (RBA) December meeting minutes revealed discussions about possible rate hikes in 2026 to curb resurgent inflation risks, but the tone was seen as cautiously less hawkish than feared, failing to derail market optimism.

Note that tomorrow features a shortened trading session, with the market closed from Christmas until Monday, December 29.
