What Does the Data Tell Us?
Financials continue to run: The S&P/ASX 200 Financials Index remains strong, closing just shy of all-time highs last Friday. Major banks continue their upward trend, while insurers like QBE, Suncorp, and IAG saw a sharp 3-5% pullback last week. Insignia shares keep soaring as the company received its sixth takeover bid in under three months. Pinnacle Investment Management was among the first in the sector to report 1H25 results, delivering a net profit that beat analyst expectations by about 20%. Despite this, the stock briefly fell 4.5% on the day (5 Feb) before closing higher. Pinnacle’s volatile reaction suggests investors are increasingly valuation-conscious, and even a strong earnings beat may not be enough to drive prices higher.
Soaring gold prices: Gold miners remain hot as gold prices extend their record-breaking streak, fueled by Trump-related volatility, geopolitical tensions, and macroeconomic concerns. Citi analysts expect these factors, along with sustained central bank demand, to push prices up to US$3,000 an ounce over the next 6-12 months.
Industrial strength: The industrials sector continues to show strength, with multiple sub-sectors pushing 52-week highs, including airlines, engineering, lab testing, and investor services.
