Top 10 at 11: It’s a pretty quiet morning, but the metal heads want to turn it up loud

Stockhead’s Top 10 at shortly-before-11-ish, produced in something of a grumbly mood this morning after I woke up today, stretched and felt wonderful as I looked forward to a quiet Saturday sleep-in, then realised it’s Thursday and well past 9:00am.

So now I’m grumpy. You have been warned.

Top 10 highlights the best (and sometimes worst) performing ASX stocks in morning trade using live, fresh out of the deep-fryer 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.
