Evening Wrap: ASX 200 gains ahead of Trump's "earth shattering" announcement

It was only a modest gain on the benchmark ASX 200 today, but importantly, those gains were widespread with roughly three stocks rising for each stock falling – similar to yesterday's action. So, it does appear that there remains a gentle ebb of funds continuing to move into Aussie stocks. Some...

Evening Wrap: ASX 200 closes week on firmer footing as Unknowns turn into Knowns

That was the overriding theme of today’s trade on the ASX – another brisk day after a week of mostly contemplation. With each day, it seems investors are moving one jar from the “Unknown” shelf and placing it on the “Known” shelf.

Evening Wrap: ASX 200 gives back gains as US futures rocket on US-China trade talks, gold and pharma stocks tumble

The promise of a sharply higher open tonight for US stocks was not enough to drive a lasting gain on the ASX 200 today – as it faded from a strong open all the way into its close. Driving US futures higher, is generally positive vibes from weekend talks between the US and China regarding trade...

Evening Wrap: ASX 200 gains on iron ore, oil, uranium, and lithium recovery, but lacks momentum despite easing trade tensions

Certainly, when one scratches beneath the surface of the whopping 10.6 point, or 0.13% increase in our benchmark ASX 200 index, one will find some stellar gains, in fact, in a few of our major sectors: Energy, Information Technology, and Resources stocks being the main ones.

Been out all day from early on., so missed the trading day completely.
Had a couple of buys and sells in place but none were activated.
The only activation was the short burst of electricity that was shot into my heart to get the flutter out.
Seems to be successful.
Hoping this will be last of the hospital visits.

Evening Wrap: ASX 200 up on solid gains in CBA, WES, and XRO - it's starting to feel a lot like a bull market again!

Commonwealth Bank (CBA) (+1.3%) could be the most loved stock on the ASX by investors, and the most hated by brokers and fund managers. It keeps going up (much to the joy of everyday investors), and brokers and fund managers keep calling it a sell. It's going to annoy those brokers and fund...

I doubt it will rise much today, it may fall. It's interesting to see how often futures markets are correct.
