Australia Stock Market Today: ASX 200 Stalls Near 9,000 as NAB Slides, Oil Shock Keeps Traders on Edge. (Indo Premier)
Australian stocks eked out a gain on Monday, with the S&P/ASX 200 inching up just 6.4 points, or 0.1%, to 8,953.30. Gains among gold miners and consumer names were enough to counter losses in banks and energy shares. For nine sessions running now, the benchmark has barely budged, closing within 0.3% of this mark. “Investors were waiting for clearer signals,” said Hebe Chen at Vantage Markets.
