  • (0:40) The Tech sector’s huge 11% boost this week
  • (1:32) The iron ore price falling into bear market territory
  • (2:25) Afterpay (ASX:APT) rising 29% on plans it will be taken over by US giant, Square
  • (4:01) Why the lithium sector is worth taking a closer look at
  • (4:57) Why upside is ahead for the Aussie share market
