Macroeconomic Report for Week Ending 14 Nov 2025 – Australian Market Outlook
Global markets rallied on hopes of a resolution to the U.S. government shutdown, though the Fed's caution dampened expectations for a December rate cut.

The global macroeconomic backdrop shifted notably in the week ending 23 November 2025, contributing to a significant risk-off sentiment that heavily impacted Australian equities. In the United States, a mixed labour market report showing rising unemployment alongside stronger-than-expected job additions, combined with firm Services PMI data and Federal Reserve minutes signalling a delay in rate cuts, led to a repricing of interest rate expectations.

In the current markets, even major players listed on the S&P/ASX 200 aren’t immune to caution flags on the charts.

Australia’s REE sector has strategic importance. But which ASX companies hold the best REE assets?Which ASX REE stocks have the highest potential?
Australia is increasingly important in the global REE supply chain as countries seek alternatives to China’s dominance. Key companies on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) are standing out thanks to substantial deposits, processing capability, and strategic supply-chain links. Leading the pack is Lynas Rare Earths Ltd (ASX: LYC), which mines the high-grade Mount Weld deposit in WA, has processing facilities outside China and is among the few globally capable of turning ore into refined products. Australia has the raw materials; the companies that control both the mines and the processing stand to benefit most.
Macroeconomic Report for the Week Ending 28 November 2025 – Australian Market Outlook
The global macroeconomic backdrop shifted notably in the week ending 28 November 2025, fuelling a renewed "risk-on" sentiment that propelled a decisive recovery in Australian equities. In the United States, softening labour market indicators—specifically an acceleration in weekly ADP job losses—combined with a cooler-than-expected Core PPI reading and dovish commentary from Federal Reserve officials, led to a sharp repricing of interest rate expectations, with markets now pricing in an ~85% probability of a December cut. This pivot abroad overshadowed sticky domestic inflation data, allowing interest-rate-sensitive growth sectors to lead the S&P/ASX 200 higher, even as uncertainty persists around the Reserve Bank of Australia’s policy path.

A clear breakout, the kind that pushes past weeks of hesitation, often tells you buyers are finally taking control.

Each chart shows a pattern of tightening ranges, rising volume, and a decisive move that suggests momentum may continue.
Lithium Price Is on the Rise. Which ASX Lithium Stocks Offer Better Opportunities?
Lithium prices are rising again, which tends to lift investor interest in ASX-listed producers. Thanks to growing demand for batteries (EVs, energy storage) and tightening supply, analysts suggest the recent price upswing, roughly 20–25% month-on-month, may mark a turning point. In that context, some ASX companies with solid operations and cash flow stand out as offering relatively better risk-adjusted opportunities. Still, it’s not a guaranteed path: lithium remains a volatile commodity, and gains now reflect renewed optimism rather than long-term certainty.
3 ASX Stocks with Bullish Charts
When you spend enough time around the ASX, you start to notice a certain rhythm in how strong charts behave.

Macroeconomic Report for the Week Ending 5 December 2025 – Australian Market Outlook
Global data point to a softening but still mixed growth backdrop, with US manufacturing in mild contraction contrasted against resilient services activity. Labour indicators such as ADP employment and continuing jobless claims show cooling private hiring and more challenging re‑employment conditions, reinforcing expectations of earlier and deeper Federal Reserve rate cuts. Core US PCE inflation is running at a steady, moderate pace, allowing the Fed to stay on hold while waiting for clearer evidence that inflation is durably converging to the target.
Why silver prices keep soaring, and how you can benefit from it on the ASX?
Silver has quietly moved into a powerful uptrend, and it’s not happening by accident. The metal is being pulled in two directions at once, as a financial haven and as an industrial workhorse. For ASX investors, this creates an opportunity. Exposure comes through producers, developers, and explorers whose revenues and valuations tend to rise as silver prices strengthen, offering leverage to a market driven by both fear and future-focused demand.
The reason tin prices are rising and 3 ASX stocks that provide the best exposure
Tin prices have been climbing sharply because the metal is suddenly caught between rising demand and tightening supply. Electronic devices, artificial intelligence hardware, solar panels and electric vehicles all rely on tin-based solder and components, pushing consumption higher just as long-neglected supply struggles to keep up. Production has been disrupted in key regions by political instability, mine closures and regulatory crackdowns, and underinvestment means new sources aren’t coming online fast enough. In this article we discuss some of the ASX stocks that can benefit the most from the rising tin prices.
Zinc prices are quietly rising - which ASX stocks can benefit the most?
Zinc prices are edging higher as physical markets tighten, supported by steady demand from steel, infrastructure and renewable energy projects alongside shrinking exchange inventories, particularly on the LME. With supply growth limited and visibility low, declining stocks are increasing concerns around future availability, which can underpin higher prices. For ASX investors, this environment favours zinc-exposed producers, developers and explorers, as well as diversified miners with meaningful base-metal exposure, all of which stand to benefit from improving project economics and margins as zinc’s outlook strengthens.
Can the recent rally in nickel prices last, and where can one get exposure on the ASX?
Global nickel prices have surged to near US$18,000 per tonne on supply concerns, particularly around potential production cuts in Indonesia and regulatory uncertainty.
