Episode Synopsis
The Australian sharemarket fell after a weak US lead and oil declined to its lowest level in almost five years. That is good for inflation though. The S&P/ASX 200 closed down 13.7 points, or 0.2% at 8585.20 as a sell-off in the energy sector on weaker oil prices was offset by a strong rally in mining stocks. The All Ordinaries slipped 0.1%. Industrials were weak and tech once again sold down hard. Banks eased back too.Lithium stocks soared on JP Morgan upgrades and gold miners flying high. Gold in AUD hits $6550.Want to invest with Marcus Today? Our MT20 portfolio is designed for investors seeking exposure to our strategy while we do the hard work for you.
