Market Close 03 Sep 24: Dividends weigh on Aussie stocks

It has been a quiet start to the month after a rocky August, with Laura describing the session today as ‘directionless’ with the US market shut.  Laura and Stevie look at the performance of the sectors which was evenly split across gains and declines with materials and consumer staples seeing some losses.  They look at the stocks that caught their eye as CBA hits record highs once again, discuss the large number of stocks trading ex-dividend, and look to what to expect as the US market reopens.  The content in this podcast is prepared, approved and distributed in Australia by Commonwealth Securities Limited ABN 60 067 254 399 AFSL 238814.
