    Market Close 25 Mar 25: Four day winning streak

    The Aussie market is clinging to gains after a choppy session, with the ASX 200 flirting with the 8,000-point mark before retreating. US markets provided some support, buoyed by optimism over a potentially softer approach to tariffs. Tech stocks led local gains, mirroring a strong Nasdaq performance, but with Australia's tech sector being small, it wasn’t enough to lift the whole market. Looking ahead, the federal budget and key inflation data could shake things up, but with the RBA unlikely to move on rates next week, investors remain in wait-and-see mode.   The content in this podcast is prepared, approved and distributed in Australia by Commonwealth Securities Limited ABN 60 067 254 399 AFSL 238814.
