ANZ share price jumps as Morgan Stanley flags a rare repeat win — what to watch next for ASX:ANZ

Sydney, Jan 13, 2026, 17:19 AEDT — The market has closed. ANZ Group Holdings Limited shares ended Tuesday up 1.6%, closing at A$36.48. Investors reacted to a new Morgan Stanley report that singled out the bank as a contender for another year of strong returns among Australia’s big banks. (Intelligent Investor) Why it matters now: bank stocks have shifted focus back to interest rates, as the Reserve Bank of Australia’s cash rate sits at 3.6% following three cuts last year. The buzz is now swirling around whether the next move will be an increase rather than another cut. A Westpac–Melbourne

ANZ share price rises after chairman share buy and Australian Open deal; what to watch next

Sydney, Jan 12, 2026, 17:16 AEDT — Market closed. ANZ Group Holdings (ASX:ANZ) shares climbed 1.2% to A$35.89 on Monday, topping the gains among Australia’s big four banks as the market hit its highest level since Christmas Eve. The S&P/ASX 200 benchmark added 0.48%, with NAB up 1.5%, CBA rising 0.6%, and Westpac gaining 0.5%. Sentiment was boosted by a stronger Wall Street, while Interactive Brokers senior economist Jose Torres noted that the U.S. jobs data suggested the cycle “has legs.” The key factor for bank investors is the local rate outlook.

Commonwealth Bank of Australia stock pops as banks rebound — what to watch before CBA earnings

Commonwealth Bank of Australia stock pops as banks rebound — what to watch before CBA earnings

Sydney, Jan 12, 2026, 11:02 AEDT — Regular session Shares of Commonwealth Bank of Australia climbed 0.9% to A$154.60 by late morning in Sydney, up from Friday’s close of A$153.22. So far on Monday, the stock has fluctuated between A$153.01 and A$154.67. This matters because CBA stands as Australia’s biggest listed lender and a key player in local indices, often shaping the financial sector’s mood. With a results-packed period ahead, even minor shifts in rate forecasts could quickly rattle bank valuations. The S&P/ASX 200 rose 0.7% in early trading, with more sectors joining the rally, MarketIndex reported. (Market Index) Rival

SYDNEY, Jan 10, 2026, 16:54 AEDT — Market closed ANZ Group Holdings Ltd shares slipped 0.6% to close at A$35.45 on Friday, edging down as the weekend approached. (MarketScreener) The pullback is significant now as bank stocks have once again become an interest-rate play. Reserve Bank of Australia Deputy Governor Andrew Hauser said inflation “above 3%” remains “too high” and flagged that the board will monitor fourth-quarter CPI data due later this month to guide policy decisions. (Reuters) Friday saw investors remain cautious among the big four banks, with Westpac, NAB, and Commonwealth Bank all closing lower. “There’s no clear

Sydney, Jan 8, 2026, 17:13 AEDT — Market closed ANZ Group Holdings shares rose 0.7% to end at A$35.68 on Thursday, recovering a slice of the prior session’s slide as rate expectations swung back into view. Volume was about 4.1 million shares.

ASX 200 closes higher after inflation cools; banks drag while Lynas jumps 14%

Sydney, Jan 7, 2026, 21:56 AEDT — Market closed Australian shares ended slightly higher on Wednesday after a softer inflation print, as miners and rare-earth stocks outweighed a slide in banks. The S&P/ASX 200 added 12.8 points, or 0.15%, to 8,695.6, while the All Ordinaries rose 0.23% to 9,018.0. Lynas Rare Earths jumped 14.5%, but Commonwealth Bank, Westpac, ANZ and National Australia Bank fell 1.5% to 2.0%, and the benchmark clawed back only part of Tuesday’s 0.43% decline.

ANZ share price slides as sticky core inflation keeps RBA rate path in focus

Sydney, Jan 7, 2026, 17:20 AEDT — Market closed ANZ Group Holdings Ltd (ANZ.AX) shares ended down 1.5% at A$35.43 on Wednesday, underperforming a firmer local market. The S&P/ASX 200 closed up 0.28%, while the financials sector fell 0.8%. The bank stock move followed an inflation update that kept the interest-rate outlook front and centre. Data showed consumer prices were flat in November, holding annual inflation at 3.4%, while the “trimmed mean” measure of underlying inflation — which strips out the largest price moves — cooled to 3.2%.

ANZ shares slide nearly 2% as banks retreat ahead of Australia CPI — what to watch next

Sydney, January 6, 2026, 17:46 AEDT — Market closed ANZ Group Holdings Ltd (ASX:ANZ) ended down 1.96% at A$35.97 on Tuesday, after swinging between A$35.65 and A$36.79. The stock has traded between A$26.22 and A$38.93 over the past 52 weeks, leaving it off last year’s peak. Intelligent Investor The drop matters because Australian bank shares can move sharply when investors reassess the interest-rate outlook. Higher rates can support lending margins, but they also raise funding costs and increase the risk that borrowers fall behind on repayments. Australia’s benchmark S&P/ASX 200 closed down 0.5%, as losses in major banks outweighed gains

Westpac shares slide 2.2% as bank sell-off deepens ahead of Australia CPI test

Sydney, January 6, 2026, 17:46 AEDT — After-hours Westpac Banking Corporation shares fell 2.2% to close at A$38.19 on Tuesday, extending a pullback across Australia’s big banks as investors positioned for an inflation reading due on Wednesday. The stock traded between A$37.90 and A$39.02, and about 4.0 million shares changed hands. FT Markets The slide matters because banks are among the most interest-rate sensitive stocks on the ASX: their earnings lean on the spread between what they charge borrowers and what they pay depositors and wholesale markets. That spread is often described as net interest margin, the gap between interest

SYDNEY, Jan 4, 2026, 16:05 ET — Market closed ANZ Group Holdings Limited shares last closed up 0.2% at A$36.42 on Friday, tracking a bid for Australia’s big banks in thin holiday trading. The broader S&P/ASX 200 ended 0.2% higher, with turnover running at about 40% of the 30-day average.  StockAnalysis The move matters because bank stocks are tightly linked to the interest-rate outlook.

Australian mortgage brokers end 2025 with rate cuts, bank shake-ups and an AI push — here’s what stood out

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 03:55 ET Australian mortgage brokers wrapped up 2025 with momentum from falling interest rates and a growing share of home-loan origination, even as bank rule changes and regulators’ scrutiny kept the sector on its toes. Mortgage Professional Australia said the October-to-December quarter was one of the year’s most unpredictable stretches, marked by “shock lending decisions” and fresh regulatory pressure alongside shifting Reserve Bank of Australia expectations. https://www.mpamag.com/au/news/general/2025-in-mortgages-final-quarter-sends-brokers-out-with-a-bang/560554 Why it matters now: brokers are heading into 2026 with more borrowers shopping around as rates ease, but also with lenders tightening policies in pockets of the market

ANZ Group Holdings Limited (ASX: ANZ) Stock: Share Price, Latest News, Analyst Forecasts and 2026 Outlook (26 December 2025)

ANZ Group Holdings Limited (ASX: ANZ) heads into the final days of 2025 with its share price near the top end of this year’s range—and with investors trying to balance two competing storylines. On one side: a large, systemically important bank paying a dependable dividend, talking up simplification, cost-out, and a multi‑year strategy reset. On the other: a rolling sequence of governance and compliance headlines—culminating in a record combined penalty from the regulator—and renewed scrutiny of culture, risk controls, and executive accountability. As of 26 December 2025, ANZ shares are indicated around A$36.30, valuing the group at roughly A$109.4 billion
