The S&P/ASX 200 closed higher on Wednesday, November 11, 2026, adding 24.20 points, or 0.27%, to 9,153.20. The benchmark reached an 11-month high for the second consecutive session, according to Yahoo Finance.

Technology and miners lead gains

Ten of the 11 sectors finished higher. Technology was among the strongest groups, while major mining stocks also advanced. WiseTech Global gained 2.52%, Xero rose 1.77% and TechnologyOne added 0.64%, while BHP increased 0.87% and Rio Tinto climbed 0.67%, according to the same report.

The broader All Ordinaries rose 0.25% to 9,291.30. The market's advance came despite renewed pressure on the financial sector, which fell 0.35% and was the only sector to decline.

Bank weakness limits the advance

Commonwealth Bank fell 1.21% after its quarterly update, while National Australia Bank lost 1.51%. ANZ rose 1.37% and Westpac edged 0.08% higher. The banking sector was also affected by Australian Bureau of Statistics data showing a record quarterly decline in household lending, as well as concerns over higher arrears and loan impairment charges at Commonwealth Bank.

The ABC News reported that the Australian market recovered from earlier weakness. Its coverage also highlighted the backdrop of hotter-than-expected US inflation, which increased expectations of a Federal Reserve rate hike, while local technology shares performed relatively well.

Market remains sensitive to rates

The session illustrates the mixed forces facing Australian equities: demand for technology and mining shares supported the index, while bank weakness and rate-sensitive economic data constrained the broader advance. The rise followed a 1.10% gain on Tuesday, when falling oil prices and a stronger Wall Street lead had improved risk appetite.
