Description

Australia’s ASX200 fell about 2 % to a five month low, the worst single‑day drop since April. Tech stocks led the sell‑off, down roughly 6 % amid US AI worries and pending NVIDIA results. Lithium miners and James Hardie bucked the trend, while the RBA kept rates at 3.6 % and markets priced a 40 % chance of a cut next May. Upcoming US data and earnings keep outlook uncertain.
