Market Close 04 Aug 25: Gold stocks sparkle as market treads water

A quiet start to the week on the Aussie market as a bank holiday in NSW keeps trade light, but gold miners shine as the price of the precious metal surges. With reporting season now underway, Beach Energy stood out after announcing a record dividend, while BlueScope Steel slipped despite outlining plans for a potential green steel play in Whyalla. Meanwhile, ANZ led the big banks lower, and energy stocks struggled as oil prices dropped following fresh OPEC+ output moves. Plus, we look ahead to a week of earnings and data, including results from Credit Corp and updates on household spending and Chinese services activity.
