Interest rate path to determine if Aussie banks can sustain rich valuations in 2025
The Australian central bank's rate trajectory and its effect on inflation will decide if Australian bank shares can eke out growth in 2025 after a bumper year that has left valuations stretched, analysts said. The sector's bumper performance was a result of inflows from superannuation funds and retail investors, who found comfort in the banks' ability to provide high capital returns in a weak economic environment. Stable earnings performance and strong asset quality have pushed more funds into banks, while the impact of China's growth prospects on commodity prices saw a revaluation across the materials sector, multiple analysts said.

Haaland penalty failure and Fernandes red card pile on woes for City and United in Premier League
Erling Haaland’s failure from the penalty spot and Bruno Fernandes' latest red card compounded the woes of Manchester City and Manchester United on another tough day for the two Premier League giants. There were no such problems Thursday for Liverpool, which rallied to a 3-1 win over Leicester in foggy conditions at Anfield and moved seven points clear atop the standings approaching the halfway point of the campaign. City dropped more points in its improbably poor run of form by drawing 1-1 at home to Everton, with Haaland having a spot kick saved by England goalkeeper Jordan Pickford in the 53rd minute.
