Today!! It was the screw-ups that outperformed ex Ramelius (RMS)


From Market Matters

"It was an historic day as the ASX notched its biggest gain in over 5 years dating back to the COVID-19 pandemic. President Donald Trump’s 90 day pause on tariffs ignited equity markets around the globe and the local market was no different as the index soared +468pts on the open, until the realisation set in that tariffs on Chinese goods remain in place and were increased to 125%. The day started with no stocks in the ASX200 lower, and it finished in a similar manner and although it did surrender over 150 points from the early morning surge, the selling never really took control.


The ASX200 rose +334pts/+4.54% closing at 7709.

Technology (+7.57%), Materials (+6.32%) and Energy (+5.16%) clear outperformers.

Consumer Staples (+1.88%), Communications (+2.95%) and Industrials (+3.5%) bottom of the pack, but still strong."
