Sydney, Jan 12, 2026, 17:16 AEDT — After-hours Westpac Banking Corp (WBC.AX) shares rose 0.5% to close at A$38.08 on Monday, having fluctuated between A$37.72 and A$38.41 during the session. The stock remains roughly 2% lower year to date in 2026. (Investing.com) The shift was minor, but the timing is crucial. Australian bank stocks now serve as a fast gauge for rates, funding expenses, and the intensity of competition among lenders for home loans. Investors watching Westpac are fixated on just two issues.

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.

PLS Group (ASX:PLS) stock climbs as China lithium prices hit limit-up — what to watch next

SYDNEY, Jan 12, 2026, 17:16 (AEDT) — After-hours Shares of PLS Group Ltd climbed 2.6%, ending Monday at A$4.77, after fluctuating between A$4.64 and A$4.82 during the session. (StockAnalysis) Daily swings in the stock now act as a shorthand for lithium prices, which is why this move is crucial. The sector’s challenge is turning this rebound into lasting strength, not just a fleeting short squeeze. China’s lithium market is leading the charge, with prices shifting quicker than company updates can keep up. Australian miners might see stronger lithium chemical benchmarks gradually boost their realized prices, even when dealing in spodumene

Northern Star stock jumps with gold at record highs — what ASX:NST investors watch next

Sydney, January 12, 2026, 17:15 AEDT — After-hours Northern Star Resources Ltd shares closed 2.9% higher at A$25.43 on Monday, after swinging between A$24.83 and A$25.62. The surge came as record-high bullion prices lured buyers back into gold miners. (Investing.com) That’s crucial now, since gold prices can shift a miner’s margins quicker than anything they can adjust underground. A stronger bullion market also gives investors breathing room while they wait to see if a rough quarter was just a blip. Northern Star revealed earlier this month that weaker results in the December quarter forced it to lower its FY26 gold

Sydney, Jan 12, 2026, 17:14 AEDT — Market closed. BHP Group Ltd shares ended Monday down 2.54% at A$46.51, slipping for most of the session as investors digested renewed chatter of major deals stirring the mining sector. The decline is significant since BHP remains the benchmark for Australia’s mining sector. The fresh talk of consolidation arrives as investors scramble to gauge “what’s next” following a year marked by fits-and-starts in dealmaking. Copper is back in the spotlight. Used in wiring and power grids, it’s the scarce metal that executives and bankers say big miners are eager to control more of.

Valero slid 3.2%, Marathon Petroleum edged down 0.5%, and PBF Energy bucked the trend with a 1.9% rise.

Acuity Inc stock heads into Monday: Q2 “backlog” fade is the big watch

The timing matters. Acuity is in the middle of a pitch shift — less “lighting cycle,” more “industrial tech” — and traders have been quick to punish anything that hints at a demand air pocket. Acuity’s quarter was also the kind that can cut two ways in the tape: strong reported growth, but with moving parts. Investors are
