Market Close 24 Mar 25: Market braces for busy week

A flat start to the week for Aussie stocks, with investors keeping a close eye on inflation data and a wave of dividend payouts ahead. The ASX 200 is struggling to break past the 8,000-point barrier, despite last week's 1.8% gain—its best of the year. Financials are holding the market up, while tech and consumer staples are among the worst performers. . Investors are also watching James Hardie’s $14 billion takeover deal and upcoming US inflation data, which could impact expectations for interest rate cuts.   The content in this podcast is prepared, approved and distributed in Australia by Commonwealth Securities Limited ABN 60 067 254 399 AFSL 238814.
