The ASX 200 headed south in early trade before building up a head of steam mid-morning and closing up 0.5% at a 13-month high of 7,058.60. The momentum continues despite a lack of themes for investors to grab hold of. Miners (with the exception of gold) and energy led the gainers while communications and utilities weighed. March jobs figures were better than expected with unemployment falling 5.6% from 5.8% in February and the participation rate increasing to 66.3%. But these figures don't cover the

Like many Sydneysiders struggling with the dour weather today, the local bourse looked like it should have stayed in bed, sliding to a 0.11% drop. A lack of fresh catalysts and unease about the inflation story that's driven the cyclical recovery, as well as pessimistic remarks from Angela Merkel midway through the session, all contributed to the drop. The debut of Airtasker (ART) was one of the bright sparks of the day with the stock closing at $1.05 - up 61.5%. Our top three VODs today are:Jun
