Sydney, Jan 11, 2026, 17:29 AEDT — Market closed Wesfarmers Ltd (WES.AX) closed Friday at A$81.06, marking a modest gain of 0.12%, after fluctuating between A$80.73 and A$81.71 during the session, per Yahoo Finance.

NAB shares slip into the weekend as traders brace for rates, data and the next update

Sydney, Jan 11, 2026, 17:20 AEDT — Market closed National Australia Bank Ltd shares slipped to A$41.02 on Friday, down 0.2%, as Australia’s major banks all closed lower and the broader market barely budged. The S&P/ASX 200 dipped 0.03%, with ANZ down 0.6%, Westpac off 0.3%, and Commonwealth Bank edging down 0.1%. “There’s no clear directional bias” ahead of key U.S. jobs data, said Capital.com analyst Kyle Rodda. Meanwhile, AMP’s deputy chief economist Diana Mousina pointed to legal risks tied to U.S. tariffs as a near-term factor causing market swings.

BHP stock back in play as Rio-Glencore talks raise the stakes for big miners

BHP stock back in play as Rio-Glencore talks raise the stakes for big miners

Sydney, January 11, 2026, 16:54 AEDT — The market has closed. BHP Group Ltd (BHP.AX) kicks off the week with merger chatter resurfacing, following Rio Tinto’s confirmation of takeover talks with Glencore. This development could shake up the mining rankings and keep BHP squarely in the spotlight. Rio and Glencore described the talks as preliminary, with the plan centered on an all-share buyout of “some or all” of Glencore. This means payment would come in shares, not cash. Under UK takeover rules, Rio has until Feb. 5 to make a firm offer or walk away. Glencore’s shares jumped over 10%

Woodside Energy stock (ASX:WDS) ends higher as oil jumps — what to watch before Monday

Sydney, Jan 11, 2026, 16:55 AEDT — Market closed. Woodside Energy Group Ltd (WDS.AX) shares finished Friday up 2.8% at A$23.59, from a prior close of A$22.95. With the Australian market shut on Sunday, traders head into the new week watching crude first, company news second. (Investing.com) Why it matters now is simple: Woodside is priced like an oil-and-gas name, and crude has started moving again on politics. The next local session will have to digest that, plus position for Woodside’s late-January update. Oil climbed on Friday as supply fears flared. Brent settled up $1.35 at $63.34 a barrel and

PLS Group Limited stock: What to watch before ASX reopens after Friday dip

SYDNEY, Jan 11, 2026, 16:56 AEDT — Market closed. PLS Group Limited (ASX:PLS) shares ended Friday at A$4.65, down 3.1%, in the last session before the weekend break. (Intelligent Investor) That move comes as lithium pricing in China has been firming again, a pressure point for the whole complex. Platts assessed battery-grade lithium carbonate at 141,000 yuan a metric ton on a DDP (delivered duty paid) China basis on Jan. 9, while an S&P Global Energy CERA report forecast the global lithium chemicals market surplus would narrow in 2026 — though it still expects the market to remain in surplus.

Northern Star Resources stock: why Jan. 22 is the date traders are circling after the guidance cut

Sydney, January 11, 2026, 16:56 AEDT — The market has closed. Northern Star Resources Ltd shares resumed trading Monday as investors weighed the impact of a softer December quarter at the ASX-listed gold miner. The stock ended Friday at A$24.72, up 0.49% for the day but still down 7.52% from the previous week’s close, according to Morningstar data. (Intelligent Investor) Northern Star reported on Jan. 2 that “isolated negative events” late in the quarter trimmed December gold sales to around 348,000 ounces (348 koz). This brought first-half FY26 sales to roughly 729 koz. The company cut its FY26 production forecast

Fortescue share price: what to watch before the ASX reopens after Rio-Glencore talks

Sydney, Jan 11, 2026, 16:54 AEDT — Market closed. Fortescue Ltd shares open Monday with renewed focus on the major miners after Rio Tinto’s bid for Glencore reignited merger speculation. The stock last closed at A$22.71 on Friday, slipping 0.18%. (MarketWatch) That’s significant for Fortescue, even though it’s not part of the discussions. In Australia, cash tends to flow through the sector as a group, with miners often pricing in the theme ahead of the actual results. The key issue at play is what investors are valuing: growth in copper, scale, and the flexibility to pursue deals. Fortescue remains largely

CBA stock holds near A$153 as CPI and RBA loom — what could move Commonwealth Bank shares next

Sydney, Jan 11, 2026, 16:55 AEDT — Market closed Shares of Commonwealth Bank of Australia (CBA.AX) closed Friday at A$153.22, slipping 0.08%. Heading into Monday, focus is shifting away from company updates toward the latest signals on interest rates. (Investing.com Australia) This matters since CBA trades like a rate-sensitive stock. Shifts in investor sentiment on interest rates can send bank shares up or down, even if the lender’s fundamentals stay the same. The bank faces its next big milestone on Feb. 11, with half-year results and an interim dividend announcement lined up on its financial calendar. Shares will go ex-dividend

The stock traded between A$173.47 and A$175.60 during the session. (Yahoo Finance) CSL heads into Monday without much new momentum, yet investor nerves remain high.
