ASX slides as Trump Greenland tariff threat sparks ‘sell America’ trade — gold hits record

ASX slides as Trump Greenland tariff threat sparks ‘sell America’ trade — gold hits record

Australian shares slipped on Wednesday, though the drop was milder than futures had predicted as miners benefited from a record gold price. By 10:30 a.m. AEDT, the S&P/ASX 200 was down 0.4% at 8,779. Tech, banks, and industrials lagged, while materials and energy sectors gained ground. Spot gold hovered near $4,762 an ounce, Brent crude around $64 a barrel, and the Australian dollar stayed close to 67.3 U.S. cents. The selloff followed a global slide, with the S&P 500 dropping roughly 2% overnight and Europe’s STOXX 600 down 0.7%, as investors reacted to new trade threats from U.S. President Donald Trump. “The geopolitical risks … are re-emerging and are shifting market perceptions of common alliances across allies in Europe,” said Wasif Latif, chief investment officer at Sarmaya Partners. Strategists are bringing back the term “sell America,” a quick way to describe reducing holdings in U.S. stocks and the dollar amid rising policy risks.

BHP shares hit a fresh 52-week high — can it knock CBA off the ASX throne?

BHP Group shares climbed 2.9% to A$49.53 by late morning, narrowing the gap with Commonwealth Bank for the title of Australia’s most valuable listed company. The miner’s market cap hit roughly A$244.35 billion on Jan. 14, according to StockAnalysis.com data. BHP remains behind CBA, which held a market cap near A$255.62 billion as of Jan. 14—about A$11 billion ahead.

  • Maruti Suzuki up 4% after Jefferies upgrade, higher target price
    June 30, 2026, 3:34 AM EDT. Maruti Suzuki India shares rallied almost 4% on June 30 after Jefferies boosted its rating to "Buy" and lifted the price target to Rs 16,500, a call that points to 23% upside. Jefferies said the upgrade was driven by stronger passenger vehicle demand and softer input costs from lower crude and metals. The automaker, which leads the Indian market with a valuation near Rs 4.4 lakh crore, is up 12.6% over the past year against a weak Nifty 50. The brokerage firm also raised EPS estimates for FY27-FY29 and sees 16% CAGR in earnings through FY29. Broader indices Sensex and Nifty slipped, held back by IT, FMCG, metals, and banking stocks, even as Maruti outperformed.
