The benchmark ASX 200 index rebounded by 0.54% today, after a better than expected jobs data released by the ABS.

The Australian unemployment rate inched higher to 4.6% in September from 4.5% in August, but was still lower than the economists’ forecast of 5%.

At the sector level, Tech and Mining were the clear winners today, surging by 4% and 2% respectively while Energy was the main laggard.

The rotation into tech stocks follows a rally in US tech stocks overnight which saw the Nasdaq rising by almost 1%.

ASX stocks like Wisetech (ASX:WTC) and Xero (ASX:XRO) were up by 7% and 5% respectively on the back of sentiment.

Local investors are also awaiting the weekly US jobless claims, which will be released overnight.
