ASX Diverges on Shocks: Banks Prop, Health & Tech Slide as Domino’s Pops, CSL Sinks

ASX Diverges on Shocks

ASX diverges on shocks as headline-driven moves overwhelm the Wall Street lead. By late morning. the S&P/ASX 200 was down ~0.4-0.5% near 9020 despite a 1.9% jump in the S&P 500. Banks and consumer names cushioned the fall, but sharp drops in health and tech dominated. The tape turned fully event-driven: a 17-29% spike in Domino's private-equity interest, a ~15% slump in CSL on guidance cuts and a delayed Seqirus demerger, and a >15% slide. . .
