A subdued and underwhelming session for the Aussie market, with stocks hovering around flat levels late in the day as energy names did most of the damage. Steve and Laura unpack weakness in Woodside after CEO Meg O’Neill announced her departure to take the top job at BP, mixed moves across the banks with CBA providing some support, and sharp falls among uranium stocks following a shock update from Boss Energy. There were brighter spots, including Bapcor jumping on a CEO change and Austal lifting after securing a $1 billion defence contract. Looking ahead, key US inflation data and several major central bank decisions are due in the next 24 hours.
