The Aussie share market is off to a roaring start in 2025, hitting fresh record highs.

Meanwhile, Apple’s earnings boosted tech stocks, despite a decline in iPhone sales in China. Locally, gold stocks shone bright as prices hit a record high, and companies like Origin and Magellan faced heavy losses. Looking ahead, investors are eyeing key economic reports, including U.S. inflation data, job figures, and local retail spending, as well as big tech earnings from Alphabet and Amazon.
