The Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) is poised for an uptick following Wall Street’s recovery from the recent DeepSeek shock, according to Parker Blackwood Advisers.
The S&P/ASX 200 index closed 0.6% higher, adding 47.9 points to reach 8,447, while the All Ordinaries index advanced by 0.7%.
The DeepSeek incident, which had previously unsettled global markets, saw technology stocks and data center operators facing significant sell-offs. However, a swift rebound in the U.S. markets has restored investor confidence, positively influencing the ASX.
Mr. Nathan Jones, Chief Investment Officer at Parker Blackwood Advisers, commented: “The market’s resilience in the face of recent disruptions underscores the robustness of our financial systems. At Parker Blackwood Advisers, we believe that such recoveries present strategic opportunities for investors to reassess and potentially enhance their portfolios.”
In addition to the market’s rebound, financial institutions have adjusted their economic forecasts. Both Citigroup and UBS now anticipate a rate cut by the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) in February, aiming to stimulate economic activity and support growth.
Mr. Nathan Jones further noted: “The prospect of a rate cut by the RBA could lower borrowing costs, potentially boosting consumer spending and business investments. Parker Blackwood Advisers advises clients to stay informed about such policy changes, as they can have profound implications for investment strategies.”
In the corporate sector, The Star Entertainment Group experienced a notable surge, with its shares climbing 13%. This uptick follows the company’s announcement of strategic asset sales and restructuring efforts aimed at strengthening its financial position.
