Australian banks lift ASX 200 0.5% to 8699.6 as Wall Street tech slides on OpenAI revenue report
AI Market Summary
A reported ~$20bn shortfall versus prior OpenAI annualised revenue expectations revived concerns about overextended AI demand assumptions, pressuring US tech and key AI proxies (e.g., Nvidia) alongside elevated US Treasury yields that tighten financial conditions. Australia's market opened firmer on bank strength, but the withdrawal of Firmus' large data-centre IPO highlights valuation sensitivity in AI infrastructure. Gold rebounded modestly amid reduced near-term Iran escalation risk.

Australian shares opened higher as bank stocks led gains, helping offset a pullback in Wall Street technology names. Concerns about an AI bubble weighed on the sector after a report said OpenAI’s annualised revenue was about $US20 billion ($28.7 billion) below what had previously been signalled, according to the Financial Times. Separately, data centre startup Firmus withdrew plans for an ASX listing after investors baulked at the price and terms, scrapping an IPO that would have valued it at about $43.7 billion.
