On Stockhead today, can the construction industry sort its s..t out, Aussies are smashing cones like the world’s ending, and six changes that rocked Aussie property to its illogical core.

But first, the day ahead.

Local shares are set to open higher today. At 8am AEDT, the ASX 200 April futures is pointing up by over 1%.

In the US tonight we’ll see February pending home sales, March Univiersity of Michigan sentiment, and a bit more Fedspeak.

China will show us its Q4 current account balance, Europe its Feb M3 money supply and credit data, and for a bit of a laff, we’ll see some GfK consumer sentiment from the Old Country.

If all goes to plan, Pathify Holdings (ASX:PTH) will join the ASX. The tertiary education student online portal service provider has complete mobile/web parity with a native mobile app that allows for mobile push notifications. Or so it says.
