Weekly Wrap 12 December

Bell Direct
December 12, 2025

The ASX200 is reflecting an over 5% increase YTD but stretched valuations and lagging financials mean investors should tread carefully heading into 2026. Analysts expect resources to take the lead next year, supported by signs of stabilisation in China, while banks and tech face tougher conditions. With the RBA likely pausing rate cuts through early 2026 and inflation still sticky, sector positioning will be key.
