Market Close 20 Sep 24: Winning streak continues for ASX 200

The ASX 200 continued its winning streak today amid news of Japan holding rates steady and U.S tech stocks surging on hopes of further cuts. Locally, commodity prices rose due to a weaker U.S. dollar, benefiting miners and energy stocks, though lithium miners struggled. The August jobs report showed strong part-time job growth, while RBA economists pushed rate cut expectations to December. Next week, investors will be watching the RBA's rate decision, inflation updates, and significant dividend payouts from major companies.   The content in this podcast is prepared, approved and distributed in Australia by Commonwealth Securities Limited ABN 60 067 254 399 AFSL 238814.
