Commonwealth Bank posts $10.9 billion annual profit as ASX futures point to 0.4% drop
AI Market Summary
Commonwealth Bank's results showed softer mortgage demand (applications -15% since May 12), a lower NIM (2.05%), and higher costs, reinforcing the drag from tighter RBA policy and property tax changes. Risk appetite also weakened after losses in US mega-cap tech pushed US equities lower, while Brent rose on continued Strait of Hormuz closure concerns, adding an inflation-risk overlay. ASX futures point to a weaker open.
