Welcome back to the 52-Week Series, where we recap the S&P/ASX 200 stocks that have hit fresh yearly highs and lows over the past week. Tracking this data point helps identify emerging trends across various stocks and sectors.

Gold Miners Extend Gains: Ten large cap gold miners, up from seven last week, hit new yearly highs. Gold prices edged up 0.7% to US$3,305 last week, though prices have been relatively range bound at the US$3,300 level since mid-May. Nevertheless, this is a prime window for miners to deliver some high cash flows and capital management.
Financials Strength: The Financials sector showcases robust strength, with a broad range of companies — from heavyweights like CBA to insurers, brokers, diversifieds, and fund managers — hitting fresh 52-week highs.
Industrials Kick On: Industrials such as Brambles, SGH, and Ventia rallied back to yearly highs, trending strongly after a brief pause in recent weeks.
A High Count: A robust 43 S&P/ASX 200 stocks reached 52-week highs, a sharp rise from 32 the previous week, signaling widespread market strength.
A Problem If You're Making Lows: In a thriving, upward-trending market, companies like IDP Education, Nufarm, and Treasury Wine Estates hitting fresh lows raise red flags, underscored by recent earnings downgrades.
