Day traders' after-market lounge June 21

Thanks afternoon crew.

End-of-day brief:

The share market's longest winning run since early April ended this afternoon as declines in resource stocks outweighed gains in mostly defensive sectors.

The ASX 200 eased 0.58% to its first loss in eight sessions in the wake of a second losing night in the US. Supermarkets, healthcare providers and some of the banks resisted the sinking tide. South32, Macquarie Group and Woodside Energy were among the day's biggest drags.

US equity futures were mildly negative at the Australian close ahead of testimony tonight from Federal Reserve chief Jerome Powell before Congress. S&P 500 futures dipped 0.1%.
