2021/03/22

Consumer discretionary and healthcare led the gains on a day of trade that continued the reflation theme but in a less rational, more abstract manner. If the trading day were a price of art it'd have been a wet, relatively cheap Jackson Pollock. The ASX 200 closed up 0.7%. The iron ore miners were under pressure after a steep fall in Dalian futures - Fortescue in particular making a right meal of things.Insurers were also struggling and if you're on the east coast, just look outside and you'll know

Aussie stocks remained range bound today in a scenario that's been familiar through out the course of this year. The ASX 200 finished down 0.6%.A late slide on Wall St set the tone, sparked again by a jump in long dated bond yields.Heavy losses in energy, materials, industrials were partly offset by strength in REITs and utilities. Tech stocks recovered most of their early losses to close down 0.03%. On The Last Call today we were joined by David Bassanese from BetaShares, Brian Parker from

A red St Patrick's day on the local market as risk-off sentiment took hold ahead of tomorrow morning's FOMC meeting. Never mind expectations that it'll be more of the same from the Fed which will be working to keep a lid on bond yields. The CXA 200 index closed down 0.63%.

The ASX 200 came back to life today, with a 0.8% jump to a three-week high of 6827.1. Tech, REITs and healthcare sectors were all helped by a decline in long bond rates. The market hit its high before the release of the RBA minutes, which were more dovish that the market had anticipated. Westpac believes the RBA will extend yield curve control by another six months, which helped drive further gains.Temple & Webster was the biggest mover of the day - up 9.2% after Morgan Stanley applied a $14

A flat finish for the local bourse with a gain of just 0.09%. Healthcare and real estate led the gains - curiously the latter, as a bond proxy, would typically dip when bond yields rise. Meanwhile while materials and tech were the biggest losers with the buy-now-pay-later names in particular hit hard - Afterpay down 4.5%, Sezzle down 6.1% and Zip down 1.2%.

A disappointing session today in what has been a disappointing week. Despite other markets in the region rallying hard, the ASX 200 managed to closed flat. Local tech stocks were hit hard once again despite gains in regional tech indices and declining global bond yields, which would typically support the sector. Afterpay was the biggest BNPL loser (down 5.28%) with Sezzle and Zip also down. Healthcare, industrials and energy were the only sectors to finish the session in positive territory. Our top

After starting the day in the green, the ASX 200 slid into the red mid-morning as jitters took hold and Chinese inflation data was better than expected. The materials sector came under pressure from lower iron ore prices with Fortescue and Rio Tinto down 8.34%and 5.54% respectively. Meanwhile, gold miners benefited from the pullback in real yields, with Ramelius Resources up 9.79%, West African Resources up 12.18%and Gold Road Resources up 5.19%...Our top three VODs are:The big utility questions;

The local bourse surged at the open after a strong Friday night lead in from Wall St but trailed off this afternoon to close up 0.43%. Declines across Asian markets contributed to the afternoon decline, as did out-of-session US futures. The lack of follow through in the US suggests that the stimulus package was largely dismissed by investors. Also that concerns around rising bond yields have yet to fully dissipate. The infrastructure-led recovery play was the theme of the day with miners the biggest

It was another forgettable performance from the local market, wallowing in negative territory throughout Friday’s session. It was a disappointing end to a week that started with so much promise, undermined yet again by a sharp spike in long bond yields overnight. Most sectors finished in the red with healthcare, consumer discretionary, information technology and materials nursing losses of more than 1%. The miners were hit by falls in the base, bulk and precious metals futures in overnight trade,

Early on there was cause for joy, oh yes, there were even brief bouts of optimism following a decent lead overnight for materials, but by the end of the session we were down to the tune of 1.1%. Local data revealing a record trade surplus did little to boost sentiment.CSL, BHP, Rio Tinto and Woolworths were ex-dividend, weighing down the broader market.

Local equities rebounded on Wednesday, helped by an improvement in risk appetite across the region and a stronger-than-expected Australian GDP report. After lagging yesterday, materials were the standout performer for the session, jumping over 3% on the back of large gains in bulk and base commodity futures. Financials were also in demand, helped by confirmation Australia’s economy has recovered strongly following the coronavirus pandemic. Those performances were partially offset by declines of more

Australian shares surged to start the trading week, recouping some of the steep losses seen on Friday. Large caps drove the move, outpacing more modest gains across the smaller end of the market. All sectors finished higher, helped by the Reserve Bank of Australia’s surprise decision to drastically increase the size of bond purchases further out the curve, helping to send yields on benchmark 10-year government debt tumbling more than 30 basis points from Friday's levels.

Tuesday's bounce proved to be fleeting with the ASX falling heavily in line with movements in regional markets and profit taking in cyclical sectors such as materials, energy and financials - all of which rallied hard in recent days.
