ASX morning brief, 22 June 2026: gold slides, oil firms, US futures fade a stale Wall Street lead
Wall Street's freshest cash read, Thursday's chip-led bounce, is now three sessions old, and US futures have turned lower into the AU open. Gold fell 1.83% to US$4,168 and Brent firmed above US$81, pointing to a heavy start for ASX gold miners and a steadier one for energy after Friday's 0.92% local slide to 8,828.7.
ASX 200 holds flat at 8,816 as WiseTech sinks 18% on a fresh probe into chairman Richard White
The S&P/ASX 200 slipped 0.14% to 8,816.1 on 22 June 2026 in a session defined by dispersion rather than its tiny headline move. WiseTech WTC.AU crashed 18.44% on reports of an AFP investigation into chairman Richard White, dragging Info Tech down 4.20%, while CSL.AU and Cochlear COH.AU extended their long falls. Gains in the big four banks, a rare-earths bid and positive breadth (127 advancers to 103 decliners) offset most of the heavyweight drag.
