Published 3 weeks, 1 day ago
Description
The ASX 200 closed 0.7% lower on Friday, extending its weekly decline to 1.2%, as mining stocks came under pressure from a three-month low in iron ore prices. Fortescue, BHP and Rio Tinto all fell, while the major banks also weakened. Bucking the trend was healthcare giant CSL, which jumped 5.8% for its strongest gain in more than four years. SBS Finance Editor Ricardo Gonçalves speaks with Blueberry Markets analyst Zoran Kresovic about the forces driving the market and what investors are watching next.
