The ASX has opened at five-week highs with a gain of around 0.5% in Monday trade.

That outpaced the small caps, with the microcap Emerging Markets index trading flat to start the week.

Gains were again led by the ASX 200 Energy index which rose +2%, as the market re-calibrates earnings forecasts as oil prices consolidate higher.

Resources also got off to a strong start, with smaller gains for bank stocks.

Gold prices are holding steady just below US$1,800/oz, while the Aussie dollar remains supported just below US75c with no risk-off indicators to start the week in Asian trade.

Looking ahead this week, key data domestically will be led by Q3 inflation data on Wednesday. Get all the details in the latest Stockhead trader’s diary.
