While global markets remain sensitive to trade headlines, the ASX 200 climbed 0.9% this week with strength across most sectors. Locally, April inflation data showed that price growth has largely settled within the RBA’s target range, helping support investor confidence. A more dovish tone from the central bank following its May meeting has markets leaning towards another interest rate cut as soon as July. Technology led sector gains, buoyed by Wisetech’s 7.1% lift after announcing the acquisition of US supply chain platform E2Open.

The ASX 200 ended the week slightly higher, rising 0.2% after the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) cut interest rates from 4.10% to 3.85%. This decision was expected by most economists, as the RBA noted that global trade tensions — particularly from rising US tariffs — could slow down economic growth. Five of the eleven major sectors finished in positive territory, led by gains in Telecommunications and Technology. While the rate cut may offer some short-term relief, the outlook remains cautious as international uncertainty continues.

The ASX 200 rose 1.4% this week, extending its recent recovery and reflecting a broader lift in global sentiment. Locally, gains were spread across eight of the eleven major sectors, with Energy and Technology leading the charge. While overall market activity was relatively quiet, earnings surprises drove some of the biggest stock movements. On the economic front, April delivered a strong jobs report, with 89,000 new roles added and the unemployment rate holding steady at 4.1%. Business confidence improved slightly but remains below long-run averages — another reminder that market conditions can be mixed, even in a rising environment.

In Australia, the ASX 200 closed the week slightly lower, down 0.1%, as the financial sector weighed on the index following mixed first-half results from the big four banks. Despite this, eight of the eleven major sectors ended in the green, led by Utilities and Technology. Economic data showed real household spending remained flat in the March quarter, indicating ongoing consumer caution. With monetary policy still tight and trade uncertainties persisting, expectations are mounting for the RBA to implement a 0.25% rate cut in its upcoming May meeting.

The ASX 200 ended the week up 3.4%, with all eleven major sectors finishing in the green for a second consecutive week. Locally, investor sentiment was boosted by the re-election of Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and the Labor Party, marking the first time in decades a sitting PM has won a second term. The strong performance in equities was further supported by March quarter inflation data, which showed both headline (2.4% YoY) and underlying inflation (2.9% YoY) remaining within the RBA’s target range—strengthening expectations for a rate cut later this month. Technology stocks led the charge, particularly Wisetech, which surged after confirming it’s in talks to acquire US supply chain provider e2open.

Global markets found their footing this week, with almost all major indices finishing in the green following more constructive trade headlines. After a volatile period, there are early signs that the peak uncertainty around tariffs may be behind us, giving investors renewed optimism.

Here at home, the ASX 200 rose 1.9%, reaching its highest level since the “Liberation Day” tariffs sparked global sell-offs earlier this month. All eleven sectors finished in the green, with Financials and Technology leading the way. Australian iron ore miners rallied on hopes of easing US-China trade tensions and improved Chinese demand, while gold miners lagged as investors moved away from safe havens in favour of risk assets.
