PM 24 Jul 26: ASX posts worst day in 5 weeks

Australian shares fell for a third consecutive week as geopolitical tensions, fresh US tariffs, surging oil prices, and disappointing tech earnings weighed on sentiment. The ASX 200 posted its worst day in five weeks, though modest in absolute terms. Next week brings major US tech earnings, Australian inflation data, and RBA commentary as key catalysts. Steve Daghlian and Laura Besarati are Market Analysts at CommSec. Each episode, they break down the day's market movements and explain what the numbers really mean.
