Market Performance
Australia's $S&P/ASX 200 (.XJO.AU)$ closed 0.5% higher at 7642.1, snapping a run of five straight losses amid strength in shares of the country's large miners and banks. The benchmark index shrugged off a soft lead by U.S. equities and was already higher when it jumped around the release of jobs data showing a continued gradual loosening of the country's employment market. The ASX 200 is still down 1.9% so far this week
Iron-ore miners $Fortescue Ltd (FMG.AU)$, $BHP Group Ltd (BHP.AU)$ and $Rio Tinto Ltd (RIO.AU)$ put on between 0.4% and 1.7% after BHP reiterated its annual production guidance.
Banks $Westpac Banking Corp (WBC.AU)$, $ANZ Group Holdings Ltd (ANZ.AU)$, $CommBank (CBA.AU)$, $National Australia Bank Ltd (NAB.AU)$ and $Macquarie Group Ltd (MQG.AU)$ added between 0.6% and 1.2%.
Real-estate and tech stocks also rose.
