Asian equity markets finishing the day in positive territory that is. First across the finish line is the Australian All Ords which has managed to finish up 28.7 pts or 0.85% at 3,398. The Austrlian S&P/ASX200 managed an even better performance gaining 35.7 pts or 1.05% to finish at 3,448.9, which leaves us needing a 7% fall from current levels to break the low of 3,217.5.
All sectors were positive on the day with the Financials and Industrials providing the biggest contributions. Continuing talk that China is looking at buying big chunks of local miners provided support for the equities markets as well as for the AUD/USD.
