Northern Star share price climbs after FY26 cost hike — what investors watch next

Sydney, Jan 20, 2026, 17:06 AEDT — The market has closed. Northern Star Resources ended Tuesday up 1.08%, closing at A$27.98. The Australian gold miner had lifted its full-year cost guidance. Shares fluctuated between A$27.47 and A$28.08 during the session. (StockAnalysis) The clock is ticking. The cost reset comes after a production downgrade revealed by softer December-quarter gold sales, giving investors little time before the next data release. (TipRanks) Northern Star has raised its FY26 all-in sustaining cost (AISC) guidance to A$2,600–A$2,800 an ounce, up from the previous range of A$2,300–A$2,700, according to a statement filed with the ASX.

Fortescue share price slips as iron ore prices wobble and brokers turn cautious ahead of quarterly report

Fortescue share price slips as iron ore prices wobble and brokers turn cautious ahead of quarterly report

SYDNEY, Jan 20, 2026, 17:07 AEDT — Trading in after-hours session Fortescue Ltd (FMG.AX) shares edged down 0.6% to A$22.26 on Tuesday, adding to Monday’s 1.9% fall. The iron ore producer tracked weaker bulk commodity trends by the close. Throughout the session, prices swung between A$22.07 and A$22.43, data showed. (Investing.com) This change matters because Fortescue’s profits closely follow iron ore prices, with the market still assessing China’s steel and property sectors. Traders are also bracing for fresh earnings reports coming later this week. Australian shares dipped, with the S&P/ASX 200 dropping 0.66% by the close in Sydney. The index

Sydney, January 20, 2026, 17:06 AEDT — After-hours CSL Limited (ASX:CSL) shares nudged up 0.1% to A$176.70 on Tuesday, defying a softer local market following an upgrade from RBC Capital Markets. (Investing.com) The timing is crucial.

CBA share price drops 1.8% as trade jitters hit Australian banks — what to watch next

Sydney, Jan 20, 2026, 17:06 AEDT — After-hours Shares of Commonwealth Bank of Australia (CBA.AX) slipped A$2.78, or 1.81%, closing at A$150.48 on Tuesday. The stock traded in a range from A$150.10 to A$152.98 during the session. (Intelligent Investor) This matters because CBA is a major player in Australian portfolios and the index. When risk appetite shifts or rate expectations fluctuate, it often pulls the entire financial sector along. For lenders, the crucial factor is the net interest margin — the difference between earnings on loans and costs on deposits. Markets usually factor in that spread well ahead of the

Sydney, January 20, 2026, 17:06 AEDT — Market closed BHP Group Ltd (ASX: BHP) shares finished Tuesday down 2%, slipping to A$47.78. The miner cited pricing pressure linked to ongoing iron ore contract negotiations in China and announced an increased budget for its Jansen Stage 1 potash project in Canada. (BHP) The timing feels off. Iron ore remains the backbone of BHP’s cash flow, even as the company pushes to expand its potash and copper earnings. All this, while trying to keep costs in check. China finds itself at the heart of both trends. Its crude steel production dropped to
