Australian Strategic Materials (ASX:ASM) was the best performing stock today, rising by 18% on no specific news.
But giant health stock CSL (ASX:CSL) looks to be the main driver for the Health sector and broader index today.
CSL rose by 2.0%, and although there were no specific news, investors might be buying the stock in expectations of a solid earnings report to be released next week.
Amongst a number of catalysts expected to drive CSL’s full year earnings, the company generates most of its business in the US, and the rising US dollar could become an additional tailwind for the results.
Another giant health stock Cochlear (ASX:COH) also rose on the health sector sentiment, gaining 1.6% on no news.
Bookmaker PointsBet (ASX:PBH) rose by almost 1.9% after announcing a regulatory approval from the West Virginia Lottery Commission, allowing it to launch its operations in the State.
