The Aussie sharemarket kicked off the week on the back foot, with a sharp decline wiping out much of Friday’s record-setting rally. Financials were the biggest drag, particularly the big four banks, while energy and materials helped cushion the fall. Block, Inc. surged over 11% after news of its addition to the S&P 500, and AMP shares rallied following positive superannuation inflows. Liontown overtook Block as the day’s top performer, riding the lithium price wave, while Insignia Financial slipped amid takeover fatigue. Investors now turn their attention to a busy week of quarterly updates from US and Aussie heavyweights, RBA minutes, and central bank moves in Europe and the US.
