Top 10 at 11: Cautious open to ASX trading as Ovanti targets US expansion
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, once trading kicks off in earnest.
In brief, this is what the market has been up to this morning.
Uncertain start to trade despite buoyant international markets
The ASX 200 is up just 0.05% as of about 10:30 am AEST, with just 4 of 11 sectors in the green.
International markets rose sharply overnight, adding more than 1% both in the US and Europe, but the Aussie bourse is looking cautious out of the gate this morning.
Both oil and gold prices fell overnight, shedding 6% and 1.8% respectively, which will pressure energy and gold mining stocks in trade today.
The ASX All Ords gold sub-index is down more than 2% at present as a tenuous ceasefire set in between Israel and Iran, with the ASX 200 Banks index pulling in the other direction, up 0.95%. A win for stability ... for now.
Let's see which stocks are making moves this morning.
