Top 10 at 11: ASX opens at fresh highs; small caps push deeper into e-commerce spaces

Morning, and welcome to Stockhead's Top 10 (at 11… ish), highlighting the movers and shakers on the ASX in early-doors trading. With the market opening at 10am sharp eastern time, the data is taken at 10.15am in the east, once trading kicks off in earnest. In brief, this is what the market has been up to this morning. Banks, discretionary push ASX higher The ASX pushed into fresh new highs yesterday, and it's looking like the bourse will be doing the same today. The ASX 200 is 12 points or 0.14% higher in the first hour of trade, making modest gains with 7 of 11 sectors green. Consumer discretionary sector stocks are the main drivers of momentum this morning, with some extra support from the top seven banks (+0.61%) and our All Tech index (+0.37%). It's another sign the Aussie market has decoupled its fortunes from US and European indices, which both moved lower last night. Oil remained flat overnight, hovering around US$66.83 a barrel of Brent while gold futures slid 2.5% to US$3404 an ounce after the White House said tariffs would not be imposed on imported gold bars. Spot gold is trading at about US$3355 an ounce this morning.
