Despite closing lower today, the ASX finished 2021 over 13% where it begun.
This compares to a loss of just over 1% in 2020 but a gain of over 20% in 2019.
But the ASX did retreat today, snapping a winning streak of 6 trading days and all sectors were in the red, with financials and property “leading” the charge.
