IPC Index — Mexico MarketThe S&P/ASX 200 was down 60 points, or 0.7%, to close at 8,456 on Monday, marking a third straight decline amid broad-based losses, led by logistics, producer manufacturing, financials, and healthcare. Sentiment remained downbeat on growing fears that Australia’s economic outlook has shifted materially amid renewed Middle East conflict, with higher energy prices expected to fuel inflation, slow growth, and lift unemployment. Adding pressure, LNG production stayed offline, and thousands were still without power in the northwest part of Australia, over a week after severe storms, Reuters reported. In the U.S., rate expectations flipped, with markets now pricing 12bps of Fed tightening this year versus 50bps of cuts a month ago. Four major banks slipped between 1.7% to 3.8%. Meanwhile, Wisetech Global (-4.9%), Pro Medicus (-2.7%), and Qantas (-1.9%) led other decliners. Traders now await upcoming releases, including RBA minutes, U.S. NFP data, and global PMIs, all due later this week.
