Another week another 160 point gain! Last week saw both benchmark indices extend their gains by more than 3.5%. The All Ordinaries rose an impressive 153.6 points or 3.5% to close just under 4,600 points whilst the ASX 200 rallied by a similar amount up 160.6 points also closing marginally below 4,600 points.
Again the major contributors were the banks and the mining giants.
Banks
ANZ finished up 7.1% to $22.68
CBA finished up 4.2% to $47.60
Macquarie finished up 2.2% to $49.75
NAB finished up 6.7% to $29.04
WBC finished up 0.7% to $24.52
Resources
BHP finished up 4.6% to $38.30
RIO Tinto finished up 7.2% to $59.23
Woodside Petroleum finished up 2.6% to $48.25
The Australian market has risen a staggering 48% from its 3,100 point February low. It appears no one wants to be short this market. A healthy pullback is in order and will provide excellent buying opportunities for the future.
