The Match Out: Strong recovery from early weakness ahead of inflation data tomorrow

The ASX is looking interesting here for the chartists, with the market having broken out mid-month before coming back to consolidate above the ~8600 breakout level. Today was important, with a retest and ultimate rally, and while the main board only put on +6pts in aggregate, it was +60pts from the morning low – a bullish sign. The move will be tested tomorrow with the important inflation data out at 11.30am, a more benign print (sub 2.1%) should see the market break higher, and vice versa on a hotter read. A pivotal penultimate day of the month! • The ASX200 +6pts/+0.08% closing at 8704

What Matters Today: Should we buy the pullback in lithium stocks, or abandon ship?

The ASX200 started the week on a firm footing, closing up +0.4%, back within a few points of the psychological 8700 area. The catalyst for the solid day was news that the EU and the US had reached a trade agreement, and President Trump was looking to extend his tariff truce with China - the US S&P 500 futures buoyed sentiment, opening ~0.5% higher on the tariff news.
