The S&P/ASX Small Ordinaries index dropped 1.2% amid broad market weakness, with uranium stocks like Bannerman Energy, Boss Energy, and NexGen Energy leading declines due to lower uranium prices and higher bond yields raising financing costs. In contrast, Healius Limited jumped 11.11% after announcing a $160 million sale of Agilex Biolabs, expected to strengthen its cash position and focus on core pathology operations. The market remains cautious as higher bond yields pressure capital-intensive sectors, but long-term uranium demand supports the sector outlook. Completion of Healius's sale is targeted for late 2027, pending regulatory approvals.
