Australia stock market today: ASX 200 slips as banks slide, BlueScope jumps on $9 bln bid ahead of CPI

Australian shares fell on Tuesday, with the S&P/ASX 200 closing down 0.5% at 8,682.8, as big banks dragged the benchmark despite strength in miners and a takeover-fuelled jump in BlueScope Steel. Financials slid 1.8%, with Commonwealth Bank of Australia down 3% and the other major lenders off about 2% to 2.4%. Markets are now focused on Wednesday’s inflation data, with traders pricing roughly a 33% chance of a February rate hike; “If the market starts pricing in rate increases, the ASX is likely to see more differentiated performance across sectors rather than a broad rally,” said Marc Jocum, senior product and investment strategist at Global X ETFs Australia.

Haleon PLC stock ticks up as Goldman adds HLN to Europe conviction list

Haleon shares edged higher in London on Tuesday after Goldman Sachs added the consumer-health group to its European Conviction List, a roster of the bank’s most differentiated buy ideas. The maker of Sensodyne toothpaste and Panadol and Advil painkillers was up 0.1% at 372.6 pence by 0959 GMT, within a 370.4p–373.8p session range; the stock has traded between 274.4p and 419.5p over the past year.
