The Match Out: The local market ticks higher to recover some of yesterday’s pain

A pretty quiet day on the news flow front with the market drifting higher to recover some of yesterday’s freefall. The early session sugar hit came from the US lower house passing the debt ceiling relief bill but aside from that there was little to move markets for the first session of the new month. Tech continued its rally while Healthcare was the star performer of the sectors.

The Match Out: ASX tumbles into the end of May, BOQ in trouble with the regulators, CPI higher than expected

Overseas markets underperformed overnight which weighed on the open here locally. Resources were particularly on the back foot with strength in the USD putting pressure on materials while coal also fell to 2-year lows to hold energy stocks back. The rest of the market followed suit, particularly following a higher-than-expected CPI print at 11.30 am, up 6.8% in April vs the 6.4% expected. A very weak close resigned the ASX200 to its worst day since March.

The Match Out: US Debt deal boosts market, Discretionary left behind

The local market was on the front foot early, jumping almost exactly +100pts/+1.4% on the open today following a tentative deal on the US debt ceiling. The ASX followed a positive move from the US on Friday night with US Futures adding to gains during trade this morning, however, the rally was sold into with the S&P500 Futures currently trading ~0.5% from the session highs. Tech in particular finished well of intraday highs after some profit-taking kicked in.

The Match Out: ASX rises after a tough week, Audinate (AD8) hits 9-month high

A quiet end to a busy week for markets with competing factors creating some big divergence across sectors. For the week, the ASX 200 fell by -1.68% while the Small Cap Index was off by -2.86% - smalls still can’t take a trick! These moves however underplay the variance across sectors with  IT up  +4.7% contrasted by the Materials sector which fell 3.45%.

The Match Out: ASX slides on global growth fears, Resources hit but tech rallies

A tough day for stocks with the heavy-weight sectors of Financials & Materials causing most of the pain. Despite the index finishing down ~1%, only 65% of stocks actually closed lower with the technology sector enjoying a phenomenal update from global chipmaker Nvidia (NVDA US) after the US close this morning – a stock we discussed this week here. That pushed Nasdaq Futures up +1.5% underpinning a 2.4% move higher from the Aussie tech sector.

The Match Out: Energy higher while the rest of the market struggles, Webjet (WEB) reports well

The ASX opened lower to start the day and there was little in the way of buying support for the rest of the session as the index rolled off another ~25pts intra-day. Materials were the main drag on performance with iron ore continuing its slide while Tech was also soft as it gave back some of the recent outperformance with growth concerns weighing on sentiment. Energy went against the grain ahead of the next OPEC meeting, one of only three sectors to trade noticeably higher today.

The Match Out: Early optimism fades, ASX slides into the close

Some optimism seen early with positive talk around the US debt ceiling negotiations but that seemed to evaporate, with the ASX following Asian markets down the gurgler by the close. Financials & property were solid, but anything linked to the consumer was soft.

The Match Out: Tech rallies again, ASX up for second consecutive week

The Match Out: ASX flatlines with lack of direction, Strategy Day galore for industrials

It was a pretty muted session from the index point of view today with very little to drive markets following the US observing Memorial Day today.
