time, I think.

And what should investors be watching in the week ahead?

I'm Laura Bessarati.

Well, it's been a bit of an uninspiring end to the week for the Aussie market.

At the moment, we're down by roughly a tenth of one percent.

So not a lot of movement happening on our market today.

And that means over the course of the week, we are on track to just edge slightly lower.

But if we zoom out a little bit, you'll remember this time last week, we recorded our best weekly improvement since October 2022 when our market surged by

around four and a half percent.

We just saw three straight weeks of improvements.

This is the first week that we've seen just a very slight fall in quite a while.

Yeah, all very good points, but I don't think Trump knows how to be subtle.

He didn't really hint at the war being over.

He used very harsh language.

He said the talks are going swimmingly, that's the word that he used, and it should be ending pretty soon.

But as we know, we did hear that towards the start of the conflict.

It's now heading towards its 50th day.

Of course, there's a ceasefire, but there's no peace still reached at this point.

There were reports that

potentially they could be talks this weekend, potentially next weekend, maybe not at all.
