Stockhead’s Top 10 at 10, published at ~10.30am each trading day, highlights the best (and worst) performing ASX stocks in morning trade using live data.
It’s a short, sharp update to help frame the trading day by showing the biggest movers in percentage terms.
The market opens at 10am (eastern time) and the data is taken at 10:15am, once every ASX stock has started trading.
The Aussie bourse has opened higher for the second day in a row of trading for 2023. The benchmark S&P/ASX 200 is up 0.6% in the opening minutes of trade.
Overnight, early gains on Wall Street trimmed after release of Fed meeting minutes for Dec 13-14th, showing they were willing to keep rates high for some time to reduces inflation.
The S&P 500 and Nasdaq reduced their early gains to close at 0.7%, while the Dow closed 0.40% higher.
The Aussie dollar is up by almost 2% to US68.7c after news the Chinese Government were discussing potential easing of restrictions on Australian coal.
