The ASX barely moved today but underneath, the market was anything but quiet.

The ASX 200 slipped just 0.01% to close at 8,731, ending the week almost where it started.

Meanwhile, Materials jumped 1.60% as gold bounced, with PDI Gold surging 12.4% and Develop Global up 11.8%.

But banks and property stocks moved in the opposite direction as higher rate expectations weighed on the market.

Oil continued to slide, with WTI hovering just above US$100.

So what’s next?

Rates, gold and the US$100 oil level could be key themes heading into next week.

ASX 200 Rises 0.41% But Recovery Lacks Broad Participation

We discuss the ASX 200’s modest gain of 36 points to 8,732, with Financials and A-REITs joining the recovery for the first time this week. However, only four of eleven sectors finished higher, as gold miners, energy, and tech faced pressure. We highlight winners like Electro Optic Systems, Dyno Nobel, and 4DMedical, and question whether the recovery is real without broader market participation.

🇳🇿 **New Zealand GDP Beats Forecasts**

New Zealand’s economy grew **0.2% in Q2 2026**, beating expectations, while annual growth strengthened to **2.6%**.

However, the recovery remains uneven as high inflation, softer household demand and elevated interest rates continue to weigh on activity.

Markets will now watch inflation, jobs data and the RBNZ’s next policy signals.

The Fed has changed the rate narrative. 📈

The U.S. Federal Reserve raised its benchmark rate by 25 bps to 3.75%–4.00%, while its median 2026 policy-rate projection increased to 4.1%, up from 3.8% in June.

For markets, the focus now shifts to:

🔹 Persistent inflation
🔹 U.S. Treasury yields around 5%
🔹 Elevated oil prices
🔹 A stronger U.S. dollar
🔹 The impact on equities, gold and other risk-sensitive assets

With the October and December FOMC meetings ahead, investors will be watching inflation, labour-market data, Treasury yields and energy prices closely.

🌏 WHAT COULD US–CHINA TARIFF CUTS MEAN FOR AUSTRALIA?

Potentially lower trade barriers between the US and China could have implications well beyond the world’s two largest economies.

🇦🇺 For Australia, key areas to watch:

📈 Potential demand boost — stronger Chinese economic activity could support demand for Australian exports such as iron ore, LNG and agricultural products.

🚢 Stronger commodity flows — improved global trade conditions could support the movement of energy and other resources.

⚠️ Increased competition — greater access for US agricultural and energy exporters into China could create additional competition for some Australian producers.

🔎 Sectors in focus — resources, commodities and China-exposed businesses could remain closely watched as negotiations develop.

The bigger picture? Targeted tariff relief could ease some trade pressures, but technology restrictions, strategic competition and supply-chain diversification remain important factors.
