Regis Resources jumps 18.6% for the week as McPhillamys reserve comes back

Regis Resources is set to start Monday’s session in Australia holding onto a big weekly gain. Shares dropped 1.98% on Friday, tracking weaker bullion prices. Stock closed at A$6.94. The company put out a new study for its McPhillamys project in New South Wales, which has been stalled. Regis has put McPhillamys back in its growth column, though only on paper for now. That’s important as it tries to strike an all-share merger with Vault Minerals. The updated study doesn’t resolve the project’s permit or legal issues or move it to construction.

ANZ Shares Gain 2.5% as Bank Expands Saturday Branch Trading

ANZ Group Holdings shares enter Monday’s session with a 2.5% weekly gain, outperforming the broader Australian market, as the lender pushes deeper into face-to-face retail banking through expanded Saturday branch hours. The stock finished Friday at A$35.03, down 11 cents, or 0.3%, after trading between A$34.67 and A$35.13.

Evolution Mining Rises 6.7% for the Week with ASX in Focus After Gold Selloff

Evolution Mining Limited is set to start Monday’s ASX trade holding on to most of last week’s gains, even after a steep move lower on Friday knocked the stock off its Thursday close at A$13.21. Shares finished the week ahead of the market, which rose 0.3%. Evolution isn’t due to post another operating report ahead of its June-quarter results on July 15. That puts focus on moves in gold, copper and currencies for now.

Aristocrat Leisure shares edge up 2.6% as buyback remains in spotlight

Aristocrat Leisure will start Monday’s ASX trade after shares climbed 2.6% to close at A$54.95 on Friday, bucking the benchmark’s 0.92% fall. The stock wrapped up at its session high, trading in a range from A$53.74 to A$54.95. Aristocrat shares ended the week up 1.9%, easily beating the S&P/ASX 200’s 0.3% gain. Volume hit 5.22 million. Light & Wonder, the close competitor, dropped 2.0% to A$128.34 on Friday. That points to a move driven by Aristocrat itself, not a sector-wide push.

Wesfarmers wrap up the week at A$85.76 ahead of inflation figures

Wesfarmers closed out the week down a touch. Shares finished at A$85.76 on Friday, off from A$86.47 last week. The stock moved between A$84.98 and A$86.36 during the session, taking a breather after a jump driven by its strategy shift. Wesfarmers dropped around 0.8% this week—worse than the S&P/ASX 200, which added a bit under 0.3%. Shares still trade 7.2% higher vs the June 9 close at A$79.99, so much of the optimism from the June strategy briefing is intact. Now attention turns to whether earnings can match the higher valuation.

Westpac Stays Flat With APRA Inquiry and Inflation On Radar

Westpac Banking Corp is set to open the ASX session Monday at A$35.01, with the shares little changed last week. Investors are watching after reports of regulatory scrutiny in the bank’s small-business unit, bringing new attention to Westpac’s ongoing overhaul of controls. Normal cash trading kicks off around 10 a.m. in Sydney. The question comes up after the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority took away Westpac’s last A$500 million capital add-on in October. The country’s bank-safety regulator said at the time that Westpac had finished a multi-year risk overhaul.

NAB Shares Rise 3.4% Before Inflation Data in Australia

National Australia Bank shares rose 3.4% for the week, finishing Friday at A$37.74 after a 1.1% daily gain. The stock moved up while the S&P/ASX 200 dropped 0.9%. Sydney trading is shut for the weekend, with the market set to open again on Monday. NAB’s rebound is worth watching as higher lending rates, which have been boosting bank earnings, can also slow credit demand and squeeze borrowers.

BHP Braces as Jansen Cost Surge Puts Capital Moves in Spotlight

Australia’s share market was closed Sunday. BHP Group comes into Monday after dropping 5.6% on Friday, its sharpest single-day loss since April 2025. The selloff pushed the Australian mining index down 4% as well. William Taylor, chief operating officer and portfolio manager at ETF Shares, said the move was about Jansen’s “immediate capital intensity.” BHP shares fell 2.4% for the week ended Friday, giving up earlier gains. The timing is key for the company’s plan to expand outside iron ore and copper with its Saskatchewan Jansen potash mine. Brandon Craig is set to take over as CEO from Mike Henry on July 1.

United Utilities Falls 1.9% With Gilt Yields Up Ahead of Dividend

United Utilities Group PLC shares settled at 1,289 pence on Friday, falling 16 pence for the day and off 25 pence from last week’s close. The shares are still about 14% under their 52-week high of 1,497 pence from April 30. FTSE 100 slipped about 1% for its worst week since early May, pulled down by pressure across the wider market. Renewed U.S.-Iran tension, political uncertainty at home and higher UK government bond yields weighed on risk appetite. The Bank of England left its policy rate at 3.75%, but two policy committee members wanted a hike.

Brent crude dropped almost 5% early this week after talk of a U.S.-Iran deal. Travel, homebuilding and mining stocks rose while BP and Shell shares slipped as traders looked for cheaper energy and a possible opening of the Strait of Hormuz.

NEXTDC Shares Add 4.3% for the Week as AI Buildout Remains in View

NEXTDC shares last changed hands at A$15.18 in Friday’s session, up A$0.24, with 11.42 million shares traded. That was one of the notable moves as the S&P/ASX 200 slid 0.92% to 8,828.7, trimming its weekly advance to under 0.3%. The Australian market is closed for the weekend. Execution is now the key issue, not just demand. NEXTDC raised A$1.5 billion in April, with CEO Craig Scroggie saying it was “a unique opportunity to materially expand NEXTDC’s contracted capacity.” The real challenge will be turning those contracts into live data halls and recurring revenue, and hitting deadlines.

Predictive Discovery jumps 20% in the week while gold rally stalls

Predictive Discovery Limited put on 20.4% this week, boosted by a rally across Australian gold stocks, though shares lost some steam late in the week. The stock climbed from A$0.785 on June 12 to A$0.945 at Friday’s close, after hitting A$1.0225 on Wednesday. PDI’s rally kicked off with Monday’s gold surge. Gold moved above US$4,300 an ounce, and the All Ordinaries Gold index shot up 8.7%. PDI shares added 10.8% by midday. There was no new operating release. The stock’s move looks linked to gold sentiment and trading, not a shift in company guidance.

Volume hit 5.22 million shares, above triple Thursday’s level. Divergence is key here. The broader market fell, so Friday’s gain was driven by buyers in the stock, not by wider risk-on trading. One big day with strong volume does not mean the stock will keep its new level.

Goodman Group shares slipped 2.5% Friday, ending at A$31.50. For the week, the industrial property firm was little changed. GMG traded in a range from A$31.41 to A$32.69 before the Australian market closed for the weekend, with 9.74 million shares moving. Traders are still looking at how capital is being allocated, with the deal not getting a lift just because of size. Most of the assets go into Goodman Australia Industrial Partnership. Goodman holds a smaller direct stake, sticking to its usual model of developing and running properties with outside investors.

APRA dropped Westpac's last A$500 million capital add-on in October, saying the lender had finished a years-long overhaul of its risk controls.

Barratt Redrow stock slides after Rebecca Napier announced as CFO

Barratt Redrow shares were down early Friday after the company named Rebecca Napier as its new CFO, moving to fill a key role during a tough UK housing market.

But Aviva managed to bounce off the session’s low and hold up better than the index, suggesting the market didn’t see its latest capital moves as negative.

Tate & Lyle traded near 552p in late London hours on Friday, steady compared to Thursday’s finish and ahead of the broader mid-cap market. The FTSE 250 slipped about 0.7% as risk appetite cooled following the canceled U.S.-Iran talks. The key figure is the 43p gap between Ingredion’s 595p cash bid and the current price. The spread is 7.2%, showing investors still want compensation for timing and completion risk, even with both boards supporting the deal.
