Thanks @shovel40, @Fiji1, @uncleBuck, @JohnI and morning crew.
Half-time wrap:
The share market retested its record close for a second day before falling back ahead of a long weekend.
The ASX 200 touched its all-time closing high of 8556 set on February 14 before easing nine points or 0.11% to 8530.
BHP, Woodside Energy and Fortescue provided much of the early momentum after US President Donald Trump and China's President Xi Jinping spoke overnight and agreed to resume stalled trade negotiations. Utilities and industrials also rose.
The market lost its initial gains as CBA backed off yesterday's record close. Other drags included ANZ, Wesfarmers and the major supermarkets.
US stocks declined overnight as tensions between the White House and Elon Musk helped drag Tesla's share price down 14.26%. The S&P 500 dropped 0.53%.
Personal trading: Traded the first test of support and bounce in REA and got out before things got ugly. Filling a gap now. Also took LFS, GHM and HMD at or near lows. Missed the low in MGH by a single pip, dammit.
