Macquarie stock heads into next week with AirFinance sale in focus and RBA decision looming
Macquarie Group shares closed nearly flat at A$212.18 Friday as investors weighed reports of a narrowed field of bidders for its AirFinance unit. The S&P/ASX 200 fell 0.65%, pressured by a slide in commodity stocks. Traders are watching the Reserve Bank of Australia’s policy decision due early February. Aviation Capital Group exited the AirFinance auction, with Dubai Aerospace Enterprise and others still in contention.
