PM 19 Oct 26: ASX hits 5 week high
Show notes
The Australian share market extended its winning streak on Monday, climbing nearly half a percent to its best level in over five weeks. Energy stocks led gains amid stronger oil prices, while takeover announcements boosted CleanAway and Challenger. Tech stocks faced headwinds following US weakness, but remain a smaller market influence locally. Earnings season takes centre stage this week with major US results and local mining updates ahead.
