ASX200 climbs even higher into the record books as Wall Street pins hopes on China-US trade resolution
The S&P-ASX200 surged to a fresh record closing high on Tuesday of 8587.20 — surpassing its previous record close of 8555.8 set back on February 14 — just seven weeks before US President Donald Trump's so-called Liberation Day tariffs crashed markets around the globe.
The leading index rose again in early trade on Wednesday, climbing to 8638.2 in the opening minutes before retreating slightly to 8617.9 — up 30.7 points, or 0.4 per cent — by 9am.
All sectors bar health care were in the green, led by strong gains among energy, mining, telco and real estate stocks.

ASX jumps as Westpac hits decade high
Shareholders have shrugged off the potential for fewer interest rate cuts, as strong earnings particularly out of Westpac drive the ASX 200 higher. The benchmark ASX 200 closed 46.70 points, or 0.53 per cent, higher to finish the day at 8,873.80, while the broader All Ordinaries finished 46 points or 0.51 per cent higher to 9,149.10. The Aussie dollar slipped 0.14 per cent and is now buying 65.41 US cents. Overall eight of the 11 sectors finished higher, led by utilities and financials stocks. The bounce in financials comes just a day after the Commonwealth Bank announced its results which dragged the sector lower. Westpac shares soared 6.31 per cent to $36.04 after the banking giant announced its unaudited statutory net profits for the last quarter jumped 14 per cent to $1.9bn. Its all important core net interest margin was up 0.05 per cent to 1.85 per cent, while revenue jumped 4 per cent. Shares reached a decade high on the result. Westpac's stronger than expected results helped drag the ASX 200 higher. Photo: Gaye Gerard / NewsWire Credit: News Corp Australia NAB jumped 1.89 per cent to $38.88 and ANZ gained 1.98 per cent to $32.50 on the back on Westpac's results. CBA continued its slide, down 1.13 per cent to $167.21. Kodari Securities founder and chief executive Michael Kodari said big banks would likely drive the market higher. 'The big four continue to offer attractive value, particularly when compared to global peers,' he said. 'Following strong profit and fresh all-time high for Westpac, there could be more gains from the big banks over the next six months, likely taking the S&P/ASX 200 to a fresh record by the year's end.' Investors also shrugged off figures released by the Australian Bureau of Statistics showing the unemployment rate fell to 4.2 per cent in July, from 4.3 per cent, despite it impacting future rate cuts. VanEck head of investment and capital markets Russel Chesler said the data-driven Reserve Bank could pause further interest rate cuts. 'To nip inflation in the bud – an outcome that should help ease cost of living as well as interest rates – we think labour conditions need to loosen more than they have to date,' he wrote in an economic note. 'The unemployment rate is still at historically low levels.' On a jammed pack day of reporting, Telstra shares slumped 2.61 per cent to $4.85 after the telco announced statutory net profit for the last financial year came in at a substantial $2.17bn, up nearly 34 per cent on this time last year. Eight of the 11 sectors finished in the green. NewsWire / Damian Shaw Credit: News Corp Australia Healthcare imaging software group Pro Medicus posted a 40 cent increase in net profits to $115.2m on the back of new contracts in American hospital and radiology clinics. Shares jumped 6.24 per cent to $315.69 on the back of the announcement. Suncorp Group shares rose 3.64 per cent to $20.77 after it announced its net profits after tax came in at $1.8bn after the business benefited from a favourable natural hazard experience and positive net investment income of $766m. Redbubble parent company Articore announced it had its first profitable fourth quarter in five years, albeit on an EBIT basis. Overall net profit after tax improved 77 per cent to negative $1.4m. Articore Group shares were up 5.77 per cent to $0.275. Furniture retailer Temple and Webster shares soared 8.75 per cent to $28.35 after announcing record revenues of $601m for financial year 2025, up 21 per cent compared to this time last year.

‘Customers know they can rely on us': Aldi crowned ‘supermarket of the year' for the eighth year in a row
German discount supermarket Aldi has been crowned the '2025 Australian Supermarket of the Year' for the eighth year in a row. On Thursday, Canstar Blue unveiled the results of their annual Supermarket Satisfaction Ratings. Aldi earned top marks across the board, including a maximum five stars for 'value for money', 'store layout' and the 'quality' of its own brand products. As of June, Aldi has expanded to 599 stores nationwide and is now the country's third largest supermarket chain behind giants Coles and Woolworths. Coles scored four stars overall, with the supermarket giant earning a modest three stars for 'customer service' and 'checkout experience' but scoring four stars for 'product range'. Woolworths largely mirrored Coles in every category except 'product range', with Woolies receiving the full five stars where its chief rival scored four. IGA supermarkets also scored four stars, largely thanks to the strength of IGA's 'customer service' and 'checkout experience', which both got full marks. Notably, IGA is the only major chain which has not widely rolled out self-service checkouts in its stores. Notoriously, Australia's supermarket 'duopoly' of Coles and Woolworths means Aussie consumers pay some of the highest grocery prices in the OECD. According to Canstar, the average weekly grocery bill for an Australian household of four people has ballooned to $240, a $24 increase from the previous year. The survey, which gathered insights from 2,869 shoppers, highlights the ongoing hip pocket pain facing consumers at the checkout. In a statement, Eden Radford of Canstar Blue told Yahoo Finance that this year's results reflect the power of 'own-brand items' in a tough economic climate. 'The quality of (Aldi's) own-brand items reliably earn the highest rating from customers,' she said. 'Consistently priced, good quality products on offer is why shoppers are choosing Aldi to do their grocery shopping.' Meanwhile, Aldi Australia group director Simon Padovani-Ginies told Yahoo Finance the supermarket was 'over the moon' to once again be crowned the country's favourite supermarket. 'This really shows our Price Promise in action - we won't be beaten on the cost of your weekly shop,' he said. 'Customers know they can rely on us to deliver the best prices without ever compromising on quality.'
