Australia’s greatest basketball export, Ben Simmons, just hit his first career three-pointer in a pre-season game against Guangzhou Loong Lions. And didn’t we love it.

Local markets, sadly, are hitting the rim. The ASX Small Ords is down 0.11 per cent to 2870 points and the ASX 200 is down 0.72 per cent to 6546 points.

Consumer confidence is also down 5.5 per cent, according to the latest Westpac data.

 

Going up

Topping the list is disruptive welding company K-TIG (ASX:KTG), which has re-listed on the ASX after raising $7 million from institutional, high net worth, and retail investors.

It offered shares at 20c a pop, but is up 115 per cent at lunch, with shares fetching 49c.

Meanwhile, SeaLink Travel (ASX:SLK) is riding high on the back of an acquisition of transport provider Transit Systems Group and a capital raise, with its shares up 20 per cent to $4.61 at lunch.
