Market Close 08 Oct 25: Gold rises to key milestone

The ASX200 edged lower, down about 0.1 % and marking a third consecutive losing session. Weakness came from tech, retail and telco stocks, while energy fell and materials gave modest support. Gold broke the $4,000‑a‑ounce milestone, driving a surge in the precious‑metal sector. Looking ahead, markets will watch the US Federal Reserve minutes, upcoming US crude‑oil inventory data and tomorrow’s Australian consumer‑inflation expectations.
