On Stockhead today, ASX contech stocks ready for the boom, is gold on the rebound, and a new ETF for a greener planet.
But first…
The All Ordinaries index finished Thursday in the green, just, with the broad market index up a mere 5.7 points at 6,952.
Airline stocks like Qantas Airways (ASX:QAN) and Regional Express (ASX:REX) and travel operator Flight Centre Travel Group (ASX:FLT) did well.
The Australian government’s $1.2bn subsidy to fund the domestic tourism sector, allowing airlines to offer 800,000 cheap flights, may have provided a boost.
The broad index of Australian shares has hugged the 7,000 points level since early December and is waiting for a breakout like its American cousins.
Speaking of which, the Dow Jones Industrial Average nudged to a new record of 32,297 points overnight, marking a rise of 1.5 per cent from Wednesday.
The Nasdaq index for tech stocks like Tesla was marginally in the red Wednesday at 13,068, down 5 points on day.
US 10-year Treasury bond yields were steady at 1.5 per cent in Thursday trade before US markets opened.
