Blue chips were the investor safe haven today, with banks and miners supporting the market. Healthcare and consumer staples not faring so well. Companies at the top of the ladder were a mixed bag, Bapcor’s rebound was notable after yesterday’s slide, while tech stocks were buoyant, led by Block and Megaport. AMP managed to close 6%

Sideway Friday 🙃

It was a wild day on top of a wild week, where midday losses quietly turned into a green close. As oil surged through $90bbl this week the energy sector was today’s sector leader, adding 0.7%. Aussie tech found some love after a tough US-led week, ZIP managing to add 3%. Today’s top performers were strange bedfellows News Corp, Qantas and Liontown.

The local market opened higher and stayed there, and while most sectors were in the green nothing really shot the lights out. Energy and materials led the way higher; a broker upgrade was behind Champion Iron’s near-6% pop. At the other end, yesterday’s upbeat Credit Corp report was sold into, closing down 6%.

The local sharemarket ended the shortened and volatile trading week on a strong note, more than erasing yesterday's steep losses. The S&P/ASX200 ended up close to 2.2% higher, but failed to make it back above the 7000 level. The blue-chips led the market higher with all sectors finishing in the green, led by consumer discretionary and staples.

Tennis anyone? Markets are like watching a tennis match - US stocks again pivoted in the last hour of trade, while our market popped higher at the open only to sink into a technical correction. Tech stocks bore the brunt of an aggressive US Fed overnight, down over 5% and taking year to date losses to near 20%. Aussie goldies were also caught in the crossfire. Financials opened in the green, then closed over 1% lower (a broker upgrade saved ANZ). Resources were up 2-3% before even green energy

No sugarcoating today; it was blood in the streets, falling knives hitting the pavement, baby out with the bathwater, choose your poison.The S&P/ASX200 posted its most significant two-day per cent decline since June 2020.

Like a car crash, it was hard to look away from today’s stock market devastation. Friday afternoon dip buyers were MIA; why catch these falling knives?
