Rise and Shine: What you need to know before the ASX opens
News
On Stockhead today, eight stocks to kick off your lithium portfolio, can gold break through $2K, and a new 3D imager enters the ASX.
But first…
The All Ordinaries index of ASX shares managed to stay over 7,000 points in Thursday trade, but it finished 11 points lower on day at 7,122.
Trading volumes were lower in regional stock markets in Asia because of the Lunar New Year holiday.
Gold miner Newcrest (ASX:NCM) was one of the ASX market’s standout performers Thursday, rising 4 per cent on an increased dividend and well-received first half-year results.
And another rise in iron ore prices to back over $US160 per tonne buoyed producers of the metal ore.
