Market Close 24 Oct 25: Trade jitters wipe out gains

The Aussie market lost a little ground on Friday, slipping 0.1% after Donald Trump ended trade talks with Canada. Still, the ASX200 managed a small weekly gain and remains firmly higher for October and the year so far. Tech stocks led the way, while healthcare and financials dragged. Pilbara Minerals and Liontown jumped on upbeat quarterly results, Dusk rose on stronger sales, and Mount Gibson tumbled after shutting an ageing WA mine. Energy stocks kept their five-day winning streak going, and all eyes now turn to next week’s major US tech earnings and Australia’s quarterly CPI figures.
