  • Negative Sentiment: Global oil prices spiked (around US$100+/bbl) after a strategic reserves release failed to cap prices, prompting risk‑off sentiment that weighs on equity markets and can reduce IPO/listing appetite and corporate activity that generates ASX fee income. Closing Bell: ASX resets to Monday levels
  • Negative Sentiment: Broader market weakness: the ASX was down materially for the week with large market cap losses tied to geopolitical (Iran war) and commodity volatility — a weaker market lowers trading sentiment and corporate activity that ASX relies on.

  • Negative Sentiment: Ongoing market volatility (live coverage shows swings around oil headlines) increases short‑term risk and can suppress volumes in some product lines while boosting others — overall a near‑term headwind for stable revenue expectations.
