Thanks afternoon crew.
The share market finished the week just below where it started after the US Congress passed a bill to raise the federal debt limit.
The ASX 200 overcame a mid-session wobble to advance 34 points or 0.48%. Today's rally brought the index back to within ten points of last week's close.
Resource stocks led after Chinese factory data soothed fears of falling demand. A split market also saw gains for tech, property and utility companies, and falls for supermarkets, banks and healthcare providers.
US futures pointed towards further gains after last night's nine-month highs for the S&P 500 and Nasdaq. S&P 500 futures firmed 0.17%.
