A flat session from an overall index perspective today as the ASX200 consolidates above last week’s breakout level – this is ultimately a fairly constructive trading pattern if it continues. Data from China was strong today in an absolute sense, although export data was weaker than expected. This grew 30.6% YoY (from a low base) showing that the global economy is back buying Chinese stuff, although the market was looking for +38% growth. On the flipside, Imports were well ahead of expectations coming in at 27.7% versus the 17.6% growth expected, this is a positive read through for Australia.
Low volumes seen across the market today with fundies seemingly focused on quarterly company updates that are starting to come through to get a read around where to next.
A very quiet end to a strong week for stocks with the market oscillating in a very tight ~30pt trading range. Information Technology stocks finished the week as they started, top of the leader board, while Woolies & Metcash dragged the Staples sector lower as Coles brings back the red finger….prices down down down signifies an escalation in the competitive landscape as they look to claw back lost market share. Not a lot else to get excited about today.
A choppy session for the ASX today with a fairly deep sell-off into a lunchtime low before the market moved higher throughout the afternoon, closing at new post COVID highs. Ultimately the market looks primed to breakout on the upside with the ASX 200 now only ~1% below the 7000 milestone.
The ASX 200 saw the best of the days gains in the morning with a high of 6915, the highest level in six weeks however sellers emerged and we ended around 30points below the session high.
A positive session to round out the month and quarter for Aussie stocks, although there was a massive MOC (market on close) order that saw the ASX 200 fall 30 points in the match (between 4pm & 4.10pm).
News that Brisbane is likely to go into a longer lockdown as the UK variant of the virus claims cases in the sunshine state has seen stocks sold off today as consistent selling from the open pushed the local market down nearly 100pts from the early session highs. A Byron Bay hens party seems to be the catalyst with the entertainment bringing more than was bargained for just as support from Job Keeper rolls off. Australia was a clear under performer from a regional perspective today as the material sector provided the biggest weight on the market overall.
The ASX lost ground today, selling off from early strength. The Brisbane lockdown kept the bulls at bay with rising case numbers coinciding with job keeper support rolling off.
