Gains were led by the consumer staples and consumer discretionary sectors which rose 1.33% and 0.44% respectively. This was offset by the information technology sector which fell nearly 1%.

What to watch today:

  • The Australian share market is set to open lower, with the SPI futures suggesting a fall of 0.19% at market open this morning.
  • On the commodity front this morning,
    • Oil is trading 0.96% lower at 71 US dollars a barrel, gold is trading 1.14% lower at 2715 US dollars an ounce and iron ore is trading 0.28% lower at 104 US dollars and 94 cents a tonne.

Trading Idea:

  • Bell Potter maintains a buy rating on Boss Energy (ASX:BOE) and has a current share price of $3.60. The 12-month price target of $5.70 indicates a 58% share price growth in a year, hence the buy rating is maintained.
