ASX Small Cap Lunch Wrap: Who’s recovering today?

The Aussie market looks more upbeat following last week’s shoddy performance, which saw the local bourse plunge to nine-week lows.

The benchmark ASX200 was up 0.46 per cent to 5,886.3 points by lunch, as “gains from iron ore and gold miners, together with the big banks, keep the market positive”, Commsec says.

Meanwhile, Victoria recorded 35 new COVID-19 cases in the past day – the smallest increase in almost three months. Great news.

There were also some fairly gigantic capital raisings announced, spearheaded by explorers De Grey (ASX:DEG) ($100m), BCI Minerals (ASX:BCI) ($48m), Blackstone Minerals (ASX:BSX) ($21m) and Saturn Metals (ASX:STN) ($13.7m).
