Market Overview A sharp selloff in materials stocks masked what was otherwise a broadly constructive session on the ASX, with the index finishing marginally lower as a tech-led rotation offset heavy losses in lithium and mining names.

The S&P/ASX 200 closed up 10.30 points or 0.12% to 8,640.70, a result that flatters a market which touched a new 20-day low during the session before […]

Market Overview A single stock rewrote Monday’s session, with CSL’s near-16% collapse dragging the ASX 200 into the red and overshadowing what was otherwise a broadly subdued but not uniformly negative day. The S&P/ASX 200 closed down 42.60 points or 0.49% to 8,701.80, a loss that would have looked far more modest without the biotech […]
