ASX June Winners: ASX 200 rose 1.4pc in June, up nearly 10pc for quarter
The S&P/ASX emerging companies was the only index in the red, down 0.41%
Codeifai topped June winners, up 600% after announcing it was acquiring main competitor Trust Codes
Brushing aside inflation worries, trade tensions and geopolitical risks, the Aussie bourse followed global equities higher in June and Q2 CY25, according to S&P Dow Jones Indices (S&P DJI).
The ASX and global markets were briefly rattled by heightened geopolitical tensions following the Israel-Iran conflict in mid-June but ultimately proved resilient upon news of a ceasefire toward month's end.
The S&P/ASX 200 closed 1.4% higher in June and posted an almost 10% gain for the quarter. Meanwhile, S&P DJI said US equities staged a dramatic recovery in Q2, with the S&P 500 "rebounding by over 20% since the tariff-related tumult experienced in early April".
"Fuelled by robust corporate earnings from Big Tech and recent optimism surrounding potential upcoming tax cuts, The 500 reached another all-time closing high on the last trading day of the month, closing the quarter up 11%," the world's largest index provider said.
At home, the S&P/ASX emerging companies was the only index in the red in June, down 0.41%.
Energy tops winning sectors in June
Five of the 11 sectors rose in June with energy leading the gainers up 9.01%, followed by financials up 4.28% and real estate rising 1.66%. Materials led the laggards, down 3.09%, followed by consumer staples dropping 2.27% and healthcare falling 1.05%.
There was plenty of news in the energy sector at home and abroad in June, with the Israel-Iran conflict initially pushing oil prices higher, though gains proved short-lived.
At home, a consortium of investors led by the state-owned Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) made headlines with its $30 billion takeover bid for Australia's second largest gas producer Santos (ASX:STO).
S&P DJI said cyclical sectors within the S&P/ASX 200 saw a robust rebound during the market recovery in Q2, particularly led by technology and financials.
"However, materials lagged, along with defensive sectors such as utilities, health care and consumer staples."
Steady fixed income as ASX VIX edges up
Fixed income indices continued to perform steadily amid the ongoing easing cycle by central banks, while in June, the S&P/ASX 200 VIX rose 0.99 points to 11.44, indicating a slight increase in market volatility expectations among investors.

ASX 200 climbs on Friday as hearing implant company Cochlear slides amid lacklustre 2025 financial year result
The ASX 200 lifted on Friday as the results of Australia's largest companies continue to roll in this reporting season. The index grew 0.3 per cent in the first hour of trading. Hearing implant maker Cochlear fell 2.2 per cent after it posted a nine per cent profit jump to $389m for the 2025 financial year. It also revealed a five per cent increase in its full-year dividend to $4.30. Despite the company's profit lifting, RBC Capital Markets analyst Craig Wong-Pan said the result was poor as it came in at the low end of the company's profit range. "We expect the stock to underperform the market today," Mr Wong-Pan said. Property developer Mirvac sank 1.5 per cent after revealing its revenue fell 10 per cent while packaging company Amcor crashed 10.4 per cent amid disappointment over its full year result. Meanwhile, petrol company Ampol jumped 6.9 per cent after it announced a $1.1b acquisition of convenience store company EG Australia. In the US, Bloomberg reported the Trump Administration is considering taking a stake in semiconductor manufacturer and designed Intel, boosting the company's share price about seven per cent. On Thursday, the Dow Jones, Nasdaq and the S&P 500 all finished flat. London's FTSE 250 sank 0.2 per cent while Germany's DAX rose 0.8 per cent and the STOXX Europe 600 added 0.6 per cent on Thursday. New Zealand's NZX 50 grew 0.4 per cent while Japan's Nikkei 225 added 0.7 per cent since trading opened on Friday.

Hidden fortune: What Aussie cleaners find in home clean-outs
Stressed Aussies are unknowingly tossing tens of thousands of dollars in the bin – with cleaners finding as much as $15,000 in cash hidden in a handbag in a shock new trend. A silent disaster is unfolding across Australia's suburbs as stressed descendants and downsizers rush to move on, with commercial cleaners clearing out properties find thousands of dollars worth of inheritance destined for skip bins. Bob Morton, co-founder of The Property Clearance Company, is among hundreds of businesses now rushed off their feet keeping up with demand as the $19.8 billion commercial cleaning sector expands into residential properties. 'We've seen people unknowingly throw away tens of thousands of dollars' worth of items and we've seen families break down over preventable misunderstandings,' he said. 'We've seen people toss out antique clocks, first-edition books and signed artworks thinking they were worthless.' 'One family threw out a set of vintage tools that later sold for more than $4,000.' 'We've found cash relatively often — sometimes thousands of dollars — and valuable jewellery like gold, diamonds, and even a Banksy artwork, which the family didn't know they had.' Govt pays $3.3m for unliveable derelict house 'We found a signed painting under a bed that was worth over $8,000. People don't always know what they're holding onto, but once it's gone, it's gone for good.' Among the salvaged items was a 1970s Steve Austin six million dollar man toy in its original packaging – worth a shattering $1,000 in the collectors' market. 'Some toys you buy today are worth nothing tomorrow, this one is unique.' Mr Morton said the team in the multistate family business he runs with wife Jude love finding things of both financial and sentimental value to clients. 'The ones that really come to mind are often the items of sentimental importance that had either been long since forgotten or people didn't even know were there. That happens a lot when families have lived in a home for decades, sometimes multi-generation.' 'Just a few weeks ago, we found a letter a client had written to her dad for Father's Day when she was seven. She's now in her 50s and had recently lost him. It was emotional for her and for our team.' 'There's jewellery and things like that people have long forgotten. One client said to me, I couldn't remember if this was real or not, because I've got a childhood memory of it but I hadn't seen it for decades. We were moving a cabinet out of a bedroom and a brooch was under it. We said, does this mean anything to you? It was very emotional.' He said a professional decluttering and clear out required five to seven days for a typical three bedroom home, and they are seeing a rise in downsizers overwhelmed by the need to declutter their life's possessions. 'This is one of life's biggest transitions and getting it wrong can cost far more than money,' he said. 'We do this for a living and are licensed second-hand dealers with an eye for both financial and sentimental value. Even then, we consult specialists for certain items.' Mr Morton has five red flags to watch for when decluttering or downsizing a home. The first, he said, was never throw things out before checking their value – what seems like junk to one generation can be a goldmine. 'Retro items from the '60s and '70s are especially valuable if in good condition — vinyl records, biscuit tins, designer furniture.' 'We've seen people throw out vintage tools worth $4,000 and priceless family treasures — all because they were in a hurry to 'just get it done'.' Don't let emotion cloud your judgment and rush you either, he warns. And he adds that most people's go-to strategy of blitzing through a house in one weekend is one of the worst things they could do. 'We hear it all the time. 'I wish I hadn't rushed it'. The problem is, once it's gone, you can't get it back. Taking time to thoughtfully sort through a home is the only way to ensure nothing important is lost.' Do not sell off the entire contents or dump it all in one go without having a look through. 'We've seen mid-century designer furniture, valuable art and antique tools snapped up for next to nothing,' he said. 'If someone offers to take a houseful of goods off your hands in one day, chances are you're being taken for a ride.' The other red flag, he said, was not documenting everything and creating an inventory – especially when multiple family members are involved in clearing out the family home to help elderly parents move into care or retirement living. 'We've had siblings argue over furniture, jewellery and even family photo albums,' Mr Morton said. 'An inventory protects everyone. It creates transparency, avoids suspicion, and gives families peace of mind.' The fifth red flag, he said, was thinking it was all 'just stuff'. He said every object has a story and some have significant emotional or monetary value. 'People often overlook sentimental items that hold family history and real monetary value. We help them see the difference.' 'That battered old typewriter in the garage might be a rare collector's item. Mum's handbag could be a vintage designer piece. Even handwritten recipes, love letters and holiday souvenirs can be deeply meaningful to future generations.' 'This is more than just a clean-up, it's the closing of a life chapter,' he said. 'Done right, it can be a respectful and even healing process. Done wrong, it's a source of lifelong regret.'

Chris Hemsworth's neighbours sell Broken Head beachfront for $36m
Hollywood megastar and Broken Head local Chris Hemsworth and his wife, Elsa Pataky, are about to welcome some deep-pocketed new neighbours to the area after the next-door resort-style compound sold for about $36 million. The sale of the sprawling property called Ohana has clocked a NSW North Coast record for its Sydney-based owners, former Rich Lister and the former chairman of deep-water oil-drilling business Benthic Geotech, Russell Staley and his wife, Jennifer.
