Australia’s stock market looks primed for another strong showing in 2025, as the likelihood of easy central bank policy boosts sentiment and China’s stimulus pledges support miners.
The benchmark S&P/ASX 200 Index is up 9.5% in 2024, trading just below a record reached earlier this month. Technology and financial stocks have led the advance, with a banking gauge set for its best year since 2009. In contrast, mining and energy shares have slumped on soft commodity prices.
