Evening Wrap: ASX 200 closes on solid footing as Wisetech, Lovisa, and big banks offset losses in gold stocks

We saw a solid improvement across most ASX sectors today in response to rising US stock futures. Technology, Energy, and Consumer Discretionary stocks led the way, but modest gains in banks, due to their outsized weighting in the benchmark index, added to gains. Really, only the Gold sector...
