Here are the top ASX large cap movers for Wednesday

The ASX 200 was up 0.73% today, following similar rises in US stocks overnight.

Tech, miners, and industrials were the best performing sectors, with energy and communications being the only sectors in the red.

The Aussie index rose as ABS data released today showed that skilled job vacancies nationally rose by 4.9% in September, with the biggest lift in NSW.

The strong data was however tempered by a release coming out of China which showed home prices falling for the first time in six years.

Investors have been concerned about a widespread property slump and economic slowdown in the China triggered by the collapse of Evergrande, especially after a release on Monday showing that Chinese GDP grew by only 4.9%, the slowest pace in a year.

All eyes are now fixed on the RBA’s governor, Dr Philip Lowe’s speech on Friday.

Meanwhile, the broad-brushed rise in Tech today saw stocks like Codan (ASX:CDA) up by 7%.

Whitehaven Coal (ASX:WHC) and Beach Energy (ASX:BPT) dragged the Energy sector, down by 7% and 2.5% respectively.
