It was hardly the strongest of rebounds this morning on the market after Wall Street recovered all of Friday’s big loss with a 286 point, or 2.2% gain. Led by Macquarie Bank the market recovered ground, adding 75 points or so in the first half hour, before easing as investors worried about lower oil and copper prices and a possible interest rate rise tomorrow.
The All ords was only up 56 points by 11.40 am and the ASX 200 was up 58 points.
Macquarie Bank though was up $4.45 or 6.3% at %74.50, which will bring some comfort to the Millionaire’s factory.
