Aussie stocks showed resilience today, despite a sharp sell-off in U.S. tech markets, where Nvidia's 17% plunge wiped $600 billion off its value. A Chinese startup, DeepSeek, disrupted the AI space with a cheaper, competitive chatbot, rattling global tech stocks and related sectors like energy. However, Australia’s smaller tech sector shielded local stocks from heavy losses. Energy and property sectors lagged, with Goodman Group sliding 8% due to concerns over its data centre investments. Winners included Sigma Healthcare, soaring 14%, and Telix Pharmaceuticals, climbing 3% on a U.S. expansion move. All eyes now turn to tomorrow’s quarterly inflation data, crucial for shaping RBA interest rate expectations ahead of a potential February cut.

Wall Street faced a significant downturn as NVIDIA plunged 18%, leading the broader tech selloff sparked by China's cheaper AI model, DeepSeek. The disruption triggered a global revaluation of U.S. tech stocks, with NVIDIA losing more than $500 billion in market value—the largest single-company rout in market history. The tech-driven selloff pushed U.S. Treasury yields to multi-week lows as investors flocked to safe-haven assets. Meanwhile, China’s economic outlook dimmed further, with manufacturing activity hitting a five-month low. Amid the turbulence, Pepsi emerged as the most improved group in the consumer staples sector, climbing 4%. On the other hand, commodities saw declines, with oil prices dropping 3% ahead of China’s Lunar New Year holiday and gold retreating as investors liquidated positions. Looking ahead, Aussie shares are expected to dip on Tuesday, with the Aussie dollar under pressure as DeepSeek-driven concerns sap risk appetite globally.

The Aussie market ended its three-day rally with a broad-based decline of 0.75%, driven primarily by weakness in the mining sector amid ongoing concerns over tariffs on China. Despite record highs on the U.S. market, bolstered by Netflix's strong earnings and Trump's $500 billion AI infrastructure plan, the positivity failed to translate locally. On a brighter note, retail giant Myer gained 5.5% after shareholder approval of a merger with Premier Investments, meanwhile takeover target Insignia Financial saw its highest share price in three years amidst ongoing acquisition battles. Looking ahead, the market awaits updates from the U.S. on jobless claims, earnings reports, and upcoming interest rate decisions.
