2022/08/03

The ASX 200 couldn’t quite crack the 7,000 mark, we did finish off the day's lows but ended up with a 0.3% fall to finish at 6,975. Nine of eleven sectors finished lower, with consumer stocks the big laggards. IT was the leading light, jumping 2.4%. Pinnacle Investment Management was the star performer, rallying 12% after the company reported full-year earnings which beat market expectations (check out ourinterview with CEO Ian Macoun).

The RBA hiked rates but softened its tone in its statement, giving local equities a boost. The central bank raised the cash rate by 50bps to 1.85% as expected, but implored that policy is not on a “pre-set path”. The ASX 200 leapt out of negative territory, which it hadbeen stuck in all day, to finish off the day’s trade flat at 6998. Yields dropped and the AUD/USDtumbled back below 70 cents. It was the consumer stocks that led the charge, helped along by financials and healthcare. Lower commodity

A new day, week and month;it took a while for the local market to wake-up. Despite the sluggish start, the ASX200 managed to add 0.69% for the session, to close at 6993. A mix of healthcare, telcos, utilities and energy underpinned the gains. Defensive stocks are enjoying the benefits of the recent move lower in bond yields. Energy followed the lead of its US counterparts after strong results from the likes of Chevron and Exxon Mobil on Friday night. Chinese PMI data confirmed sputtering economic

Happy days. Happy week and month, actually. The local market closed 0.81% higher for the day, taking the weekly and monthly gain to 2.3% and 3.6% respectively. It was a broad-based rally again, too. All bar the healthcare sector finished in positive territory - but it was only down 0.06%. The drop in global yields after weaker than expected US GDP data supported rate sensitive areas of our stock market. Utilities were 2.5% higher, while real estate closed just shy of a 3% gain.

The Fed did what it was expected to and global markets rejoiced. Wall Street soared - and that set up the ASX200 for its 0.97% gain today.It was a broad-based rally and cyclicals led the charge. Materials, energy and financials surged. The defensive utilities and health-care sectors lagged. On the corporate front, Rio Tinto brushed off early losses after reporting overnight. Meanwhile, Macquaries shares gained 3% following its Q1 update, with strong revenues driven by its markets division. At the

Another choppy session for the ASX200, which has managed to hold up despite the deluge of US earnings and macroeconomic event risk. The local bourse closed near the highs of the session at 6823 for a 0.23% gain. The rise was underpinned by a mix of healthcare, industrials and financials. Consumer stocks also bounced back after a small rinsing yesterday. On the flip side, the materials sector was a weight on the market and the biggest laggard for the session. ZipCo shares continued to defy the odds–

Another listless day on the market as investors opt to stay out of the fray ahead of major corporate and economic events domestically and abroad. The ASX200 closed 0.26% higher, with a jump in energy and materials stocks the main drivers behind the gains. The iron ore majors have stabilised as the price of the commodity rights itself. Reports that Russian gas giant Gazprom is cutting exports to Europe boosted gas and oil prices last night and supported the energy players in our market. Consumer

Flat as a tack. That’s what the local market was today. Investors face a deluge of information this week – on the corporate and economic front, both domestically and abroad. So - the ASX200 closed a paltry 0.02% lower. Materials lifted, so did utilities. A drop in the NASDAQ after poor tech earnings on Friday pushed our tech sector down 1.5%. Healthcare also dropped 1%. Quarterly results and updates are dripping into the market. Oz Minerals downgraded its copper and gold production guidance, as well

Gains but not without pains 🤕

2022/07/21

Cautious consolidation following Wednesday’s big gains. Who could blame investors with major central bank and earnings events on the horizon? The S&P/ASX 200 traded around breakeven for most of the session before drifting higher into the close, seeing the benchmark climb 0.52% to 6794.3. It was a mixed performance across the sectors with technology again leading the way with an increase of 3.2%. Other long duration sectors fared well with healthcare and communications adding 1.6% and 2.1%

Boom! That was the biggest increase since June with every sector closing higher. It was a barbell bonanza with materials and technology leading the charge higher, surging 2.5% and 3.8% respectively. Not to be outdone, financials, energy, consumer discretionary, communications, utilities and REITs lifting between 1.4% to 2.2%. Safe havens were clearly not required, reflected in the underperformance of healthcare and consumer staples. They “only” added 0.8% and 0.4% respectively. It was that kind of

Early gains evaporated quickly, mirroring the performance on Wall Street overnight. It was a turnaround Tuesday, just not in a good way. The S&P/ASX 200 fell 0.56% to 6649.6, giving back some of Monday’s gains. It feels like we’re stuck in a perpetual game of snakes and ladders where the only winner are day traders. It was a uniformly soggy performance with every sector aside from energy and utilities finishing lower. Healthcare and technology were belted, tumbling 2.3% and 2.9% respectively

A big rally to start the week, reversing Friday’s losses. Hopes that US inflation may have peaked, optimism surrounding a turnaround for Chinese property developers and M&A activity locally largely explaining the green on screen. Most sectors posted strong gains, led by technology, energy, materials and financials which rose more than 1.4%. Consumer staples, healthcare and utilities underperformed, reflecting an easing of investor risk aversion. Keeping with the broader turnaround story, many

A soft end to a soft week as concerns over the health of China’s property sector flared again. Selling across the resources sector was brutal, mirroring the moves in commodity futures. It didn’t matter if they were big or small, diversified or pureplay: almost everything was hammered. BHP, Fortescue and Rio Tinto fell 3.8%, 5.9%, and 2.6% respectively, the latter outperforming following the release of its quarterly production report.

Another quiet session with stocks drifting higher throughout the session. With so many major macro events over the past 24 hours, there was an obvious sense of relief there was no further increase in market volatility. Sentiment may have been assisted by the release another stellar jobs report locally, along with gains across other Asian markets. Underneath the surface, most sectors posted solid gains. Reflecting moves in US and Chinese markets, the tech sector outperformed with an increase of 2.1%

Another session characterised by caution with investors unwilling to move too far in either direction with so many risk events ahead. Most sectors eked out modest gains, led by communications, technology, industrials and consumer discretionary which rose more than 1.2%. REITs rose 0.8% while financials chimed in with an increase of 0.7%. Offsetting those moves, materials and energy continued to underperform on mounting global recession fears, falling 0.6% and 1.8% respectively. Utilities also took a

Another day, another underwhelming performance. COVID outbreaks in China. US earnings risks. Hot inflation persisting – they’re all contributing to investor caution and choppy price action as liquidity dries up. That was evident across the sectors today with an even split between winners and losers. Healthcare, consumer staples and utilities rose more than 1%. Financials climbed 0.7% while energy added another 0.2%. At the individual level, Zip topped the leader board, jumping 5.6% after scuppering

A session that started with so much promised ended yet again in disappointment, weighed down by steep falls in the miners. Enthusiasm towards the prospect for faster infrastructure investment in China fizzled as fast as it arrived, replaced by renewed concerns over commodity demand amidst fresh covid outbreaks. The materials sector slumped 2.8%, giving back some of the gains achieved late last week. The iron ore majors eased between 1.7% to 2.6%. BHP was hit hardest on fresh legal threats from the

Take yesterday’s scoreboard and turn it upside down. Because when it comes to today’s session, it was almost the opposite. Energy’s struggles continued, finishing the day flat after recording the largest daily decline in over two years a session earlier. There was no reaction to data showing Australia logged its largest trade surplus on record in May, helped by booming coal and LNG prices. Every other sector except financials and consumer discretionary finished lower, the steepest declines coming
