Thanks @shovel40, @Fiji1 and morning crew.

Half-time wrap:

The share market built on Friday's rebound, rising to its highest in more than a week after an inflation-relief rally swept Wall Street.

The ASX 200 climbed 67 points or 0.84%. Tech stocks and telcos led a rally that was broad enough to lift all sectors. Zip Co, QBE, James Hardie and Deep Yellow were the index's best performers. Drags included Fletcher Building and Johns Lyng Group.

US stocks bounced on Friday after benign June inflation data bolstered expectations that the Federal Reserve will start to reduce benchmark rates before year-end. The S&P 500 gained 1.11%.


Personal trading: Challenging morning. Got caught up in the RCR trading halt. Not optimistic about a positive outcome in these circumstances. Also dabbled in retraces in FND and EZZ.
