Last week saw the local market basically flat. It was a volatile week overseas with markets fluctuating wildly due to the economic new flows. Although we finished the week virtually even, our market also experienced a little fluctuation. The All Ordinaries finished down 0.1% whilst the ASX 200 was lower by 0.3%. Both indices have retreated some 2.5% since rising to nearly 4,000 points. So far, for the month of May, the local bourse has traded in a fairly narrow band.
The major banks were generally lower for the week with WBC the worst performer down 5.2% to $19.38. It did however, trade ex-dividend last week so the fall wasn’t all that drastic. Macquarie Bank was next in line down 3.2% to $33.49. ANZ and CBA traded in a tight band with both stocks little changed. They were up 0.9% to $15.41 and down 0.9% to $35.51 respectively. The best performer was the NAB rising a modest 1.4% to close at $21.76 for the week.
After RIO Tinto’s horror week a couple of weeks ago, it enjoyed somewhat of a recovery rising 4.1% to $64.44. Its major competitor, BHP also rose but only marginally by 0.4% to $33.46. Of the other mining giants, Woodside Petroleum fell 2.5% $42.41 whilst Newcrest Mining leaped a very healthy 8.3% to close at $31.95.
This week could bring with it more volatility as global markets continue to absorb the economic data.
