Two-for-two to start the week although volumes were once again poor. Despite delivering another 50 basis point hike, the RBA’s assertion that rates are no longer low boosted sentiment at the margin.

The lack of liquidity could explain the continued renaissance seen across last year’s laggards with Brainchip, Life360, WiseTech, ZIP and City Chic logging gains of 4.8% or more.

The broader benchmark rose 0.25%, lifting 16.7 points to 6629.3.Our top three VODs:MARTIN'S QUALITY TAKE ON GROWTH VS CYCLICAL POST-RBAASX200 TO HALVE BY DECEMBER 2024?INVESTORS REMAIN CAUTIOUS AROUND ATTRACTIVE VALUATIONS Hosted on Acast.
