ASX Market Update: Aussie Index on the cusp of record as Real Estate stocks take the lead | September 16, 2024

The Market Herald
16 Sep 2024

Good afternoon. The ASX200 has been up 0.42% at 8,134 points. The local bourse is very close to breaking its record of 8,148 set in August.

The Aussie market has so far shrugged of a second assassination attempt on former President Trump in the United States, but all eyes are on Wall Street’s reaction. At 1pm Sydney time, the S&P 500 and Nasdaq futures are flat.

The Real Estate sector has been up more than 1%, followed by Telecommunication up around point eight of a percent. Health Care has been down point six of a percent and Utilities has lost around point three of a percent.
