ASX 200 rises 0.56% to 9,215 as BHP hits record and Woolworths jumps 5.59%
AI Market Summary
Australia's ASX 200 rose 0.56% to a two-week high, sitting within 1% of its record, supported by strength in heavyweight miners (BHP at an intraday record; Rio Tinto buoyed by near-record copper) and a sharp Woolworths rally on stronger FY26 profit and dividend growth. Positive US equity leads reinforced risk appetite, though weaker oil prices pressured energy names and tech lagged after a cautious outlook from WiseTech.
