Australia’s sharemarket ended a four-day decline on Monday, with the ASX 200 gaining 1.9 points to 8,636.40 amidst concerns over BHP’s legal issues and interest rates. Seven of the 11 sectors rose, particularly in technology and energy, despite declines from major stocks like CBA and BHP. Elders and Pro Medicus stood out with significant share price increases following positive earnings reports. Analysts suggest that further interest rate cuts are unlikely, anticipating the next move may be upward instead.
