Market Close 22 Aug 24: Ten day winning streak for Aussie stocks

The Australian stock market continued its winning streak, marking ten consecutive sessions of gains, the longest run since 2015. Despite the streak, daily improvements have been modest. The market's resilience comes amidst ongoing reporting season, with mixed company performances. Notable movers include a 20% drop in Megaport due to underwhelming guidance, and strong gains for WiseTech and Brambles. Consumer spending trends are also influencing results, with KFC operator Collins Foods reporting declining sales amid cost pressures. Investors are eyeing upcoming global economic updates and the Federal Reserve's Jackson Hole Symposium for potential market impacts.   The content in this podcast is prepared, approved and distributed in Australia by Commonwealth Securities Limited ABN 60 067 254 399 AFSL 238814.
