It has been a quiet day for the Aussie market, but some rare earth stocks have been standouts. Stevie is solo to reflect on the session which has seen very little movement as the market danced around a record high. Stevie discusses the week which may have led to this cautious sentiment with rates remaining on hold, and Trump continuing to make tariff headlines. Only the mining sector saw gains locally today and so he unpacks the catalyst behind this, talks through the best and worst performers with HMC Capital losing ground, and he looks to the week ahead.
