The Match Out: Choppy session to kick off the new month, Premier (PMV) rallies on AGM comments

A choppy day to kick off the first day of the month with the market soft early, the ASX200  down ~40pts at the lows only to recover most of the declines before the close – not a bad effort for a Friday and another sign that markets have a bullish tone to them after a great November. The ASX200 managed a gain of 32pts/+0.46% this week, Tech and Healthcare the standouts.

The Match Out: Stocks bounce 4.5% in November as interest rates peak

The trend for the week was broken today with the market down early before rallying ~60 points as it squeezed up into month end with an MSCI Index rebalance thrown into the mix as well – the market is starting to get that ‘Christmas squeeze’ vibe about it, the ASX 200 up 4.52% for the month of November, recouping a large proportion of the declines from the September / October, the net result is a total return of -1.4% for the tumultuous period.

The Match Out: Commodity markets weigh on ASX ahead of Thanksgiving

Weakness across resources weighed on the ASX200 today with Iron ore taking a breather from its recent rally and oil markets on the back foot as OPEC uncertainty weighs on Energy markets. Volume was light and is expected to remain so into the weekend given the US Thanksgiving Holiday takes place tonight. With little reason to make a conviction call today and a large portion of the index facing a commodity headwind, the index closed on session lows.

The Match Out: Stocks ease on low volume

The best of it was seen early today with the index pushing up on open, only to lose steam from midday onwards and trickle lower into the close – still, there is not a lot of new impetus to sell the market, and as one fund manager we had lunch with today who looks after $10bn+ said, volumes are becoming tough when moving around the market at size, in other words, it’s paying to be smaller and nimble in this environment.
