    Thanks afternoon crew.

    End-of-day summary:

    Australian stocks started the week little changed after an extension to US-EU trade talks soothed worries late last week that negotiations were faltering.


    The ASX 200 overcame a mid-session dip to reach the close one-tenth of a point or less than 0.01% ahead.

    Weak leads from Wall Street were bolstered by a bounce in US stock futures after US President Donald Trump announced he would extend the deadline for a trade deal with the European Union. S&P 500 futures rallied 1%, reversing weakness on Friday after Trump threatened to slap the EU with a tariff of 50%, complaining trade talks were "going nowhere".

    Uranium and gold miners provided much of the day's excitement here. Deep Yellow, Paladin Energy and Boss Energy gained between 7.29% and 13.65% after Trump signed executive orders aiming at speeding up the development of nuclear power plants.
