  • ASX 200 Market Update: Housing Growth Slows, Hot Chili Trading Halt, GrainCorp Earnings Miss
    February 1, 2026, 6:01 PM EST. Australian home values edged up 0.8% in January, slowing growth amid affordability and credit pressures. Sydney and Melbourne markets remain below prior peaks. Supply constraints support the market as listings fall 19% from last year. Lower-priced homes outperformed, driven by first-time buyers, said Cotality's Tim Lawless. Meanwhile, Hot Chili (HCH) requested a trading halt for a pending capital raise announcement after a 15% year-to-date rally. Copper stocks face pressure following overnight commodity selloff. GrainCorp guided earnings far below estimates for FY26, citing oversupply and weak prices in global grain markets, with net profit after tax forecasted at $20-50 million versus $85 million expected. Lower volumes and margin pressure persist amid export declines and cautious biofuels policy outlook.
