Market Close 26 Feb 25: Market falls for the seventh time in eight days

The market has dropped again today in a week that has seen mixed performance across the sectors.  Laura and Steve unpack the session with materials doing the worst and financials helping to balance some of those losses.  Earnings results will continue through the week and so they analyse likely outcomes from these and they reflect on the part that tariff conversations continue to play on local stock moves.  Inflation data met expectations, and they discuss why this may not influence interest rate decisions.
