ASX week in review — Saturday 6 June 2026

ASX 200 ends the week down 1.2% as tech soars and miners sink, with a US jobs shock waiting for Monday

The ASX 200 closed the week down 1.22% at 8,625, masking a sharp split: information technology rose about 8.5% while gold, lithium and rare-earth miners were crushed. After the local close, a hot US payrolls print sent the Nasdaq down 4.18%, a risk-off move Monday has yet to price.
