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...

Evening Wrap: ASX 200 dips despite strong rally in Woodside Energy, as major banks and iron ore miners drag

At the headline, a disappointing result for the XJO, declining on a day with so many positive overseas leads as major banking and mining stocks suffered modest falls. On a positive note, there were several strong performances among Energy stocks in particular, but also across the Real Estate and...
