Episode PM 14 Oct 26: Investors await US earnings and inflation data

0:00 9:30

The Australian share market fell for the first time this week as investors grappled with rising global bond yields, renewed interest rate concerns, and elevated oil prices. Financials and materials led declines, though energy stocks found support. Key catalysts ahead include tonight's US inflation data and tomorrow's local jobs report, both critical ahead of upcoming central bank decisions.

Steve Daghlian and Laura Besarati are Market Analysts at CommSec. Each episode, they break down the day's market movements and explain what the numbers really mean.
