Thanks @shovel40, @Fiji1 and morning crew.
Half-time wrap:
The share market scaled a three-week high as strength in resource stocks offset weakness among tech and consumer stocks.
The ASX 200 overcame Friday's setback by rising 31 points or 0.43% to its strongest level since August 11.
Hopes for a stimulus-fuelled recovery in Chinese demand for raw materials and fuel helped lift the materials sector 1.6% and energy 1.5%. Also trading ahead were property companies, telcos and most of the banks.
Significant drags included Fortescue Metals (ex-div), Wesfarmers and the supermarkets. Kiwi casino group SkyCity Entertainment crashed 14.75% after the New Zealand government asked the regulator to suspend the company's licence to operate.
Wall Street is closed tonight for Labor Day. S&P 500 futures were predictably subdued across the long holiday weekend, inching up 0.04%.Personal trading: Squandered a big chance at the open by not buying enough LLL and taking a profit too quickly. Still, a profit is a profit. Took AW1 at 25c.
