Market Close 28 Nov 25: Worst month since March for Aussie stocks
The ASX200 closed essentially flat, down only three points, after a volatile November that saw the index fall about three percent for the month but climb 2.4 percent this week, snapping a four‑week losing streak. Rate‑cut hopes were dented by hotter‑than‑expected inflation, while sector performance was mixed. Tech, finance and property fell, but healthcare, consumer staples and WiseTech rose. Upcoming drivers include the OPEC+ meeting, Black Friday sales and Australian economic data on building approvals and September‑quarter growth.

Market Close 26 Nov 25: Hot inflation rattles Aussie markets
The ASX200 closed up about 0.7%, marking three consecutive days of gains and a weekly rise of roughly 2.2% after last week’s 2.5% slump. Hotter‑than‑expected inflation (headline 3.8%, core 3.3%) pushed RBA rate‑cut odds down to 24% for May. Materials, health and consumer stocks led the upswing while tech, telcos and utilities fell. Zip jumped 7% and DroneShield 8% after a European defence contract; Temple & Webster slumped 33% on a weak trading update. Looking ahead, US inflation, jobless claims and durable‑goods data, plus the RBNZ, UK budget and Beige Book, will shape market sentiment.
