Australia's ASX 200 is set to finish H1 2026 with a gain of just around 0.50% — a disappointing result driven by a fresh round of profit warnings and weakness in key commodity prices including iron ore, copper, and gold. The information technology sector fell 5.71% for the week, while the energy sector dropped 4.14%. With Wall Street under pressure and the Fed unlikely to cut soon, Australian investors are bracing for a tough start to H2.#FinancialNews
