Market volatility is back on the radar this week as geopolitical tensions drive oil prices higher and keep global investors on edge. While the Wall Street had a strong month driven by the AI sector, the local market is facing a more challenging period, headlined by downgrades across the banks and by the biggest story this week in Cochlear’s (ASX:COH) over 40% decline.
In this week's wrap, Sophia and Will cover:
- the impact of rising crude oil prices and stalled peace talks on global investor sentiment
- why the ASX is lagging behind the AI-driven rally seen in US markets
- a look at the recent performance of the energy and financial sectors in Australia
- Cochlear's (ASX:COH) 40% tumble what it means for long-term shareholders.
