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 that have made announcements.

The market opens at 10am (eastern time) and the data is taken at 10:15am, once every ASX stock has started trading.

Briefly, here’s what’s been happening already this morning: Local markets are off to a mixed start this morning, with Energy and Utilities stocks still facing a sell-off hangover as the market opened today.

However, tech stocks have opened higher, enjoying a decent boost along with Real Estate which has been enough to push the benchmark 0.5% higher in the opening minutes of the day.

It comes after a muted, mixed result from Wall Street overnight, and the all-important iron ore price has fallen again, down 0.8% while you were asleep.
