The ASX 200 extended its losses last week, down by -0.85% on Monday as traders assessed how the war in the Middle East could impact on markets.
Nine out of 11 sectors fell, with Healthcare and Staples the only two finishing in the green.
Staples was helped by the 2% rally in Treasury Wine Estates (ASX:TWE) after reports that China will commence its review on Australian wine tariffs it imposed in 2020, which is expected to take up to five months.
Should the tariffs be removed, TWE says it plans to rebuild its business in China including the continuation of its existing multi-country of origin portfolio growth strategy, led by Penfolds’ French, US and Chinese portfolios.
In the Healthcare sector, CSL (ASX:CSL) led the surge, up almost 2% on no specific news.
Most miners fell, while energy stocks dropped as oil prices eased on Friday as Israel delayed its planned ground invasion of Gaza.
Coal stock New Hope (ASX:NHC) was the worst-performing large cap today, down -8% on no news. Best performer was health stock ARB Corporation (ASX:ARB), which was up 4%.
In the bond market, Aussie yields hovered near recent highs, tracking the 10-year US yield which touched 5%, the highest level since 2007.
Meanwhile, PM Albanese has touched down in Washington D.C. to begin a four-day tour of the US. The trip will focus on AUKUS and clean energy discussions, amongst other things.
