One more sleep until it’s Christmas Day.

And what more can we say — we reckon everyone deserves it after such a tough year.

The ASX will be closing early – at 2.15pm (AEDT) today so you have less than two hours to cash out for some last minute Christmas shopping. The bourse will re-open next on Wednesday the 29th.

It’s been a solid trading day, with the ASX 200 gaining 0.58%, sitting at 7,430 points as at 11.45am (AEDT). Despite some recent wobbles, the local index is now up 2.7% in the last month.

But it’s likely that no two traders you might encounter at your Christmas lunch tomorrow will have had the same fate this year.
