The Australian market has shown resilience, with the ASX200 rising by 1.35% to 8,325 points amid positive global economic signals such as a slowdown in U.S. consumer prices and robust earnings from major American banks. As all sectors remain in positive territory, particularly Real Estate and Financials leading the gains, investors are keenly observing how these dynamics might influence high-growth tech stocks like Infomedia and others, which thrive on innovation and adaptability in such evolving conditions.
