Telix Rallied Before the ASX Closed; Tuesday Trading in Focus

Telix Pharmaceuticals heads into the shortened Australian trading week with new momentum. Shares climbed on Friday, moving against a weaker market. Investors are again watching the company’s cancer-imaging and therapy pipeline. No Monday trade means the next test for the stock comes after the holiday. Investors will be looking at Friday’s rebound and weighing it against a global risk-off mood that followed a big drop in U.S. stocks. Friday’s jobs data revived interest rate fears.

Treasury Wine shares pop ahead of ASX open on Penfolds focus

Treasury Wine Estates Limited is set to start trading again after the Australia long weekend, with focus on last week’s strong rebound. The shares jumped after a Penfolds overhaul, outperforming as the wider market slipped. ASX cash market is shut on Monday, June 8, for King’s Birthday, so the Friday close at A$4.69 is the most recent price ahead of trading Tuesday. Treasury Wine’s update on its turnaround came as the shares gained 10.61% over seven days, but it is still down 40.66% on a one-year total return basis, according to Simply Wall St.. The timing stands out because the story is still one of repair, not clean growth.

Aurizon’s Rally Near a 52-Week High Faces a Four-Day ASX Test

Aurizon Holdings Ltd will enter Tuesday’s reopen near a one-year high after a stronger week than the broader Australian market, with the ASX shut on Monday for the King’s Birthday public holiday. The rail freight operator last traded at A$4.30 on June 5, down 0.7% on the day but up 2.6% over seven days and just below its 52-week high of A$4.33. That outperformance matters now because the wider market went the other way. The S&P/ASX 200, Australia’s benchmark index of large listed companies, fell 0.7% on Friday and lost 1.2% for the week, its first weekly decline in three weeks, as investors cut risk before the long weekend and watched global rate and geopolitical headlines.

That leaves investors waiting until Tuesday to react to the latest break-up news and Friday’s moves in global markets.

Friday’s settlement stands as the most recent price, so the focus turns to what happened last week and what might move when trading picks up on Tuesday.

Sonic Healthcare’s Friday Bounce Didn’t Save the Week. Tuesday Is the Test

Sonic Healthcare Ltd heads into a holiday-shortened week with Friday’s rally still short of a turn in the tape. The ASX-listed pathology and radiology group last traded at A$19.34, up 1.46% on Friday, and the ASX cash market is shut on Monday for King’s Birthday. That matters because Monday offers no fresh local price check, and the last full week left shareholders with a small loss, not a recovery. Sonic finished 0.92% below its May 29 close of A$19.52, after falling early in the week and clawing back ground from Wednesday.

Google looks to Wall Street as it spends $85 billion on AI

Alphabet has set terms for an enlarged $84.75 billion equity offering, looking to shore up cash for its AI infrastructure push. The tech giant is selling common stock, depositary shares, plus a $10 billion private deal with Berkshire Hathaway, Reuters said. It’s an uncommon stock sale for a company known for strong cash flow, showing how AI expenses are hitting even the biggest players. The focus for AI has shifted from building models and apps to the backbone—chips, power, land, cooling, and data centers. Alphabet flagged that demand for its AI products and services now outstrips supply. It’s planning $180 billion to $190 billion in capital spending for 2026, with more expected in 2027.

AMP Shares Recover Ahead of Tuesday Test for Investors

AMP Limited heads into the King’s Birthday holiday with a week-loss that Friday’s late bounce couldn’t fix. The wealth and banking stock finished at A$1.52 on June 5, up 2.7% that session, but still off 4.7% from last Friday’s A$1.595 close. No Monday trade means there’s no way to test the move right now. The ASX cash market is shut on June 8 for King’s Birthday, so there’s no settlement. Investors will have to wait for the next session after a weak offshore lead.

ASX’s 2026 schedule pegs Monday, June 8, as King’s Birthday. The cash market will be shut, halting trade and settlement. Scentre shares won’t see action until Tuesday.
