Good morning, and welcome to Stockhead’s Top 10 at shortly-before-11-ish, which is meant to highlight the best (and sometimes worst) performing ASX stocks in morning trade using live data, to provide 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 – for better or worse – and then I do my best to make sense of who’s moving where and why it might be happening.
Local markets have opened lower, and at 10.30am the ASX 200 was sitting at -0.34%, after a mixed result on Friday for Wall Street that saw record highs. However, US stock futures fell pre-market on Sunday, and Aussie markets have taken a small hit.
Here’s what’s been happening since the doors were opened this morning
