    Thanks afternoon crew.

    End-of-day summary:

    The share market wrapped up a positive fiscal year with a modest rise this session after US stocks inched higher ahead of tonight's May inflation report.


    The ASX 200 climbed eight points or 0.1% to end the fiscal year at 7767.5. Insurers, gold miners, tech companies and healthcare providers offered some of the day's best returns. Drags included bulk metal miners and supermarkets.

    A fiscal year that began and ended with losing quarters was ultimately carried by a five-month rally that started in November and lasted through to March before rates uncertainty triggered a wobble in April. The final tally since July 1 last year was a handy 564 points or 7.8%.

    Today's advance followed slim gains on Wall Street as the market marked time ahead of the Federal Reserve's preferred measure of inflation, due tonight. The Dow and S&P 500 added 0.09%.
