The Match Out: Shares little changed, Evolution (EVN) surges on quarterly

After a muted open, the market seemed to find its groove, rallying 40pts from early lows into the lunchtime peak before buying stepped away. Shares had given back almost all of the gains by 4pm at which time the UK released their monthly CPI figure which was hotter than expected, sending down for the session, right on the close. There was little diversion between sectors, particularly when you strip out Utilities which was supported by the heavyweights of the area.

The Match Out: The selling picks up the pace, data drives the weakness

The local market is now on a 4-day losing streak – its worst run since January (5 sessions) – with today being the worst of the batch. As we said this morning, US stocks are leading the weakness, having fallen for six consecutive days; their worst losing streak since June. Equities were on the back foot early following a soft session overnight, stemming from strong-than-expected retail sales numbers, which put pressure on rate cut expectations. Early buyers were hurt today with the market not “feeling right all day”, come the close, 92% of the ASX200 finished down, and not surprisingly, all sectors finished lower today, though there was some relief late in the session as the index closed 27pts / 0.35% off the lows.

The Match Out: Tensions cause a soft Monday, support for equities remains though

An escalation of aggression in the Middle East over the weekend was the main cause for concern today, weighing on the local market from the get-go. The weakness didn’t cause any contagion though, equities seemed pretty well supported after hitting a low just before midday, i.e. panic didn’t set in and traders are still using dips to edge into the ASX. Energy was the main winner today, that was despite Oil markets giving back some of the gains seen on Friday night. Materials were also surprisingly well-supported thanks to US imposing further sanctions on Russian commodities, a trade we are well-positioned for.

The Match Out: Stocks bounce from lows, Energy & Resources rally

Stocks were hit early on the back of the hotter inflation print in the US overnight, the ASX down ~100pts at its worst, before a spirited/impressive recovery played out, underpinned by the resources & energy sectors while the Staples also played their part. This sort of market action is indicative of a strong market, where negative news gets a short sharp reaction, but ultimately the weight of money remains on the buy side.

The Match Out: ASX higher, Coal stocks back in play

A reasonable session for the ASX today, underpinned again by a recovery amongst the miners, Coal stocks the standout following multiple broker upgrades. In the past month, the materials sector is +2.4% vs IT which is down -3.98% showing how sectors are coming in and out of favour, a market for active investing.  Eyes will be on the US CPI tonight with the latest set of numbers expected to fall to 0.3% from 0.4%.

The Match Out: Resources underpin strong session, Citi are Copper bulls!

A good session from commodity stocks underpinned a positive day for the ASX. Iron Ore held onto recent strength, while Citi was out with a bullish note on Copper saying…we believe copper’s second secular bull market this century is taking hold, 20 years after China urbanization and industrialization-led secular bull market. They think recent strength has further to run in the short & longer term and they revised up their price assumptions across the board. A very bullish note on Copper that is aligned with MM’s view.
