The drop was driven by stronger-than-expected jobs data, which reduced the likelihood of interest rate cuts in the near term. Investors had been hoping for some policy relief, but the data reinforced the Reserve Bank\u2019s more hawkish tone, suggesting rates may &nbsp;stay higher for longer. This shift in expectations weighed on sentiment across most sectors, with Technology leading the declines after a weak performance from US tech stocks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the US, markets were mixed. While the Dow and S&amp;P 500 edged up slightly, the Nasdaq slipped 0.5% as investors rotated out of growth-focused stocks amid rising scrutiny of AI spending. The end of the longest government shutdown in US history provided some relief, with a new funding bill now extending through to January 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">European markets moved higher this week, buoyed by weak UK economic data that increased the likelihood of a rate cut by the Bank of England in December. The Euro Stoxx 50 jumped 2.3% despite UK unemployment ticking up to 5% for the September quarter and GDP slowing more than expected. Across Greater China, results were mixed. The Hang Seng gained 1.3% while the Shanghai Composite dipped slightly as industrial production, retail sales and housing data all remained soft. Still, many economists expect the government\u2019s 5% annual growth target to be achievable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Japan\u2019s Nikkei finished modestly higher, up 0.2%, as global sentiment improved following the end of the US shutdown. However, ongoing concerns about stretched AI stock valuations weighed on the tech sector. Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi reiterated her intention to pursue aggressive fiscal spending to support economic growth, signalling a continuation of Japan\u2019s expansionary policy approach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Don\u2019t have the Raiz App?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Download it for free in the App store or the Webapp below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/3yef.adj.st\/home?adj_t=4emcfc6_1okyyjf&amp;adj_deep_link=raiz%3A%2F%2Fhome&amp;adj_fallback=https%3A%2F%2Fapp.raizinvest.com.au%2F\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"351\" height=\"84\" src=\"https:\/\/raizinvest.com.au\/investors\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/download-app.png\" alt=\"download-raiz-app\" class=\"wp-image-3372\" srcset=\"https:\/\/raizinvest.com.au\/investors\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/download-app.png 351w, https:\/\/raizinvest.com.au\/investors\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/download-app-320x77.png 320w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 351px) 100vw, 351px\" \/><\/a><figcaption><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/3yef.adj.st\/home?adj_t=4emcfc6_1okyyjf&amp;adj_deep_link=raiz%3A%2F%2Fhome&amp;adj_fallback=https%3A%2F%2Fapp.raizinvest.com.au%2F\">Click to download the Raiz app<\/a><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>Important Information<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This information has been issued by Instreet Investment Limited (ACN 128 813 016 AFSL 434776) as Responsible Entity of the Raiz Invest Australia Fund (ARSN 607 533 022) and has been prepared without taking into account your objectives, financial situation or needs.
