Market commentary
Despite persistent global geopolitical uncertainty – including a 12-day war between Iran and Israel –
Australian shares finished the 2025 financial year on a positive note, with the S&P/ASX 200 Accumulation
Index gaining +1.4% in June.
Energy stocks were the standout performers, rising +9.0% for the month, supported by higher oil prices and
a takeover bid for Santos, which saw its share price end the month +16.2% higher. In contrast, the Materials
sector lagged, falling -3.1%, with major miners BHP and Rio Tinto drifting lower amid softening demand for
iron ore.
Argo Investments will report its full year profit result on 4 August 2025. For more information, see the Key
Dates section in our Shareholder Centre: argoinvestments.com.au/shareholder-centre.
