The Aussie market endured a bruising week, on track for its sharpest weekly decline since early 2025. While Energy stocks offered some protection - buoyed by a 20% surge in oil prices this week - the broader market succumbed to fears of an inflationary shock. Materials and Gold miners were heavily sold off today as the US dollar strengthened, while Uranium miner Deep Yellow plunged over 12% after delaying a key project decision in Namibia. Amid the sea of red, Tech stocks emerged as rare winners. WiseTech spearheaded a relief rally, leaping 11% as opportunistic investors rotated back into growth names that had been previously battered by selling pressure. All eyes now shift to tonight’s critical US non-farm payrolls and next week’s US inflation data for the next directional cue. Laura Besarati is a Market Analyst at CommSec.

The Aussie market stumbled today, posting one of its worst sessions in weeks as escalating Middle East tensions unnerved investors. The ASX 200 retreated sharply, weighed down by widespread caution, though the Energy sector provided a rare bright spot. Oil prices soared after reports of a blockade at the Strait of Hormuz, pushing local coal miners higher. In contrast, it was a "sea of red" elsewhere; gold miners slumped despite record bullion prices as investors locked in profits, and Live360 plummeted to its worst level in a year following earnings. Magellan Financial was the undeniable standout, soaring over 20% after announcing a blockbuster $1.6 billion merger with Barrenjoey. All eyes now pivot to Wednesday's critical GDP print.

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. That might be the best way to sum up the February reporting season at the headline level. Of course, there is more nuance to it than that.  The top end of town - the banks and miners in particular - enjoyed solid results and, often, spectacular share price moves; Woolworths up 14%, anyone? Throw into the mix a record high for BHP and a resurgent Commonwealth Bank, as the strong got stronger - 'twas the best of times. At the other end of the spectrum, if you disappointed the market - even by a smidge in the case of a company like ZIP - you got hammered. This is not a new theme, given recent season history, but certainly a more pronounced one. 'Twas the worst of times.  If that wasn't enough to navigate, casting a pall over the entire season was the chaos agent that is change. More specifically, AI-disruption, which apparently is threatening most small and mid-cap business models, while the top 20 are somehow immune.  To help unpack one of the most colourful and important reporting seasons in the last decade, guest host, CommSec's James Gruber, was joined by David Lloyd from Ausbil Investment Management, and Dushko Bajic from First Sentier Investors.  They discuss the big themes, key takeouts and, of course, all the big stocks - from the winners to the losers, and everything in between.

Aussie stocks stalled today, drifting lower for a third session as global uncertainty took hold. Despite an early climb, the index succumbed to a late fade, echoing a weak Wall Street lead where the S&P 500 slumped on AI disruption fears and the official start of President Trump’s trade tariffs. A 10% levy on all global imports took effect this afternoon. Energy and Materials sectors provided the only sparks, with the latter hitting a record high as BHP cracked a fresh peak. Lithium miners Liontown and Pilbara Minerals also surged following a price rebound. In reporting news, Viva Energy and Woodside jumped after beating expectations, but Adore Beauty plummeted 28% as deep discounting savaged margins.

Fully franked dividends are a prized asset of the Australian market. While the lack of growth is often lamented, plenty of self-funded retirees are content to dine on the distributions of Australia's big miners and banks.  And who can blame them - high commodity prices, particularly in iron ore and lithium, resulted in record dividends from the top end of town. However, after peaking in 2021 and 2022, dividends from mining companies are steadily declining. Research from Commsec published late in 2023 showed that the 12-month forward dividend yield for the ASX200 has been below the long-run average of 4.7%, and dividend per share estimates have been cut by 14 per cent.  The good news is that Australian banks have been increasing their dividends whilst also enjoying surging share prices. There is also a long list of consistent dividend paying stocks that often fly under the radar. In this episode of the Rules of Investing, Livewire's James Marlay speaks with Plato Investment Management's Dr Don Hamson to get his diagnosis on the case of the 'disappearing dividends'. Hamson insists that diversification remains a free lunch for investors, especially for those seeking stable and consistent returns. He also emphasizes that fully franked dividends continue to stack up as the backbone of an income-generating portfolio.
