The major index bounced back today with a 0.6% jump to 7,014.20 after a strong lead in thanks to a lift in Wall St tech stocks. Out-of-session futures are signalling that the momentum will continue tonight. All sectors finished in the green today, except for the miners, which were dragged down by falling Dalian iron ore futures. Treasury Wine Estates jumped 6.26% after laying out a clear US-focused growth plan for the next five years, which will go some way towards offsetting losses from Chinese

Much of note, little of consequence as local stocks deteriorated into the afternoon, despite a contrarian rally from the oft-whacked tech sector. Elsewhere it was inflation angst, budget blues and even a little equity ennui. A day where wholly inoffensive names like energy network operatorAusNet Services crashed7.7%.Andwhere Resolute

High growth names were hosed today as inflationary concerns continue to ratchet higher. The ASX 200 index closed down 1.06%.The steepest losses were in the IT sector, led by the buy-now-pay-later names. There were few winners for the session - even with big gains overnight in the iron ore price, the miners all finished lower.Consumer staples were the exception to the rule. REITs also fared well due to continued M&A activity. Our top three VODs today are:David's 'contrarian alarms' are ringing on

This arvo saw a shiny new S&P/ASX 200 record, the indexlifting 92 points, or 1.3%, to 7172.8, trouncing the 7162.5 from February 20, last year. Iron Ore wasn't the only commodity in the complex to rally, butbetween Fortescue Metals Group's 7.9%and Champion Iron's 5.4%, the rest of the materials sector just didn't seem to be putting in an effort.

The S&P/ASX200 closed lower Thursday, dropping 0.48% to 7061.7 after resetting its 52-week high just a day earlier. Spoiled for choice, the worst of the worst was a tight run thing between: Nearmap Ltd, down 22.03% and a miserable Appen Ltd, down 20.64%.Both unfortunately now much more limited than before. Anyway, despite a bloodbath for the banks, grim tidings for gold and a terrific tech sell-off,the broader index has only lost0.3% over the last five days.A rout it ain't. So. Put that one in

May the 4th be with you! The force was definitely with the ASX 200 today, which closed up 0.56% thanks to higher commodity and energy prices driving the price action. Tech was the biggest loser today following similar moves in the US overnight. The weakness came despite further declines in bond yields which typically benefit the space. Market attention now turns to ANZ, which releases its half-yearly results before the market opens tomorrow. Our top three VODs today are:Jun Bei Liu waves her

Declining bond yields and ongoing dovish remarks from the Fed helped the local market close at its highest level since the pandemic began. The XJO closed up 0.25%. Gainers were led by IT, helping to reverse some of the weakness seen earlier in the week. Materials and energy were also strong performers boosted by ongoing strength in commodity markets. REITs were the biggest losers after being one of the biggest gainers yesterday, thanks to profit taking and a disappointing update from

The local market kicked higher this morning after a weaker than expected inflation figure. The major index finished up 0.44%, just below its pre-COVID high.All sectors rose, led by REITs, financials and energy.With that in mind, an interesting tweet from CommSec this afternoon: "6.1bn shares have changed hands today, worth $6.9bn. 675 stocks rose, 701 fell & 382 finished unchanged". It was the smaller stocks that tended to get hit hard today while the bigger players enjoyed a green day. Our top

The S&P/ASX200 fell on Tuesday, dropping some 0.2% to 7033.80. Worst of a bad bunch: Nickel Mines down 12% and Mesoblast 8% respectively. After five days of forgettable trade the index is exactly where it was five days ago. Just older, and some would say, looking a little more tired. Not me, I'm a bourse half full person. So I leave with a reminder -the benchmark is still just 0.8% below nailing its 52-week (watermelon sugar) high. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

A directionless start to a busy week, headlined by the Federal Reserve meeting on Thursday morning and local inflation data on Wednesday. The ASX 200 closed down 0.2%. Strength in commodity prices wasn't enough to offset weakness in other areas of the market. The banks finished marginally higher ahead of interim results from three of big four next week. Meanwhile, NIB guided the market higher with a jump of more than 10% after re-affirming guidance. Our top three VODs today are:Will history repeat

The local market has ended in positive territory after being positively terrible for most of the day.The S&P/ASX 200 managed to dig a0.2% hole in early trade, which it then spent the rest of the arvo climbing out of. The spectacle that has become AMP rose sharply then slid again on the same news - the demerger that thrilled investors for about 5 minutes quickly morphed into disappointment, uncertainty and ultimately a kind of exhausted disinterest, ending up about 0.6%.And then somewhere around
