  • Australian Shares Rebound Led by Miners Ahead of RBA Rate Decision
    February 2, 2026, 9:04 PM EST. Australian shares rebounded sharply on Monday, with the S&P/ASX200 rising 1.29% to 8,888.4, led by a 2.2% surge in mining stocks. The rally followed positive U.S. manufacturing data and a trade de-escalation with India announced by President Trump. Investors are now focused on the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) ahead of its interest rate decision, with markets pricing in a 76% chance of a 25 basis point hike. Key miners Rio Tinto, BHP, and Northern Star saw gains, while gold prices recovered from a technical bear market. The financial sector rose 0.8%, supported by gains in major banks including NAB, Westpac, and CBA. Technology and consumer stocks also saw modest gains amid a broad-based U.S. tech rally.
