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 – for better or worse – and then I do my best to make sense of who’s moving where and why it might be happening.

Before things kicked off, the ASX 200 Futures was pointing 0.3% lower, Wall Street fell and the cops carted my neighbour, Meth Head Kevin, away in handcuffs last night, possibly because someone down the street found him squatting inside their wheelie bin and nearly died of fright.

Here’s what’s been happening since the doors were opened this morning…
