Welcome back to the 52-week Series – A recap of S&P/ASX 200 stocks that have tagged a fresh yearly highs and lows in the past week. By tracking these 52-week highs and lows, we can spot emerging trends across different stocks and sectors.

When we see clusters of stocks hitting new milestones within a sector, it often signals significant underlying factors – whether it's shifting commodity prices, evolving demand trends (like the current AI boom), or companies exceeding or falling short of earnings expectations.

What Does the Data Tell Us?

  • Broad-based financials strength: Financials soared to record levels last week, with the S&P/ASX 200 Financials Index climbing 1.57% and surpassing its previous peak from November 2024. The rally extended beyond banks, extending to fund administrators, fund managers, and insurance companies. Factors such as rising bond yields and strong equity market inflows have provided widespread tailwinds across these sub-sectors.

  • Retail stocks rise on rate cut hopes: Australian Q4 inflation was softer-than-expected amid a deceleration in housing and services prices. Trimmed mean CPI increased by 0.5%, the slowest rate of increase in just over three years with the annual rate falling from 3.7% to 3.3%. In response to the CPI data, Citi analysts brought forward the timing of the first 25 bp rate cut from May to February, and anticipate another 25 bp cut in both May and August this year.

  • Healthcare stocks benefit from a rising US dollar: The ASX healthcare sector is one of the major beneficiaries of a strong US dollar. Companies like ResMed, Fisher & Paykel and Ansell generate 50-70% of revenues from the Americas.

  • Solid breadth but weakness to come: The market faces likely turbulence this week following Trump's announcement of tariffs on China, Canada, and Mexico – the country's three largest trading partners. While stocks across multiple sectors have recently hit 52-week highs, the new tariffs could particularly impact healthcare companies, many of which operate manufacturing facilities in the affected countries.
