Netwealth (ASX:NWL) in negotiations over facility & deposit agreements: ASX is tracking 0.3% higher

 

The Australian share market is pushing on from a flat start despite a weak lead from the US markets. Most sectors are in the green with technology shares dragging the market. Energy stocks are in the spotlight after a 6 per cent jump after oil prices rebounded from Tuesday's decline after a grounding of a ship in the Suez Canal. The incident caused concerns that it could delay crude shipments. Retail fashion company Premier Investments (ASX:PMV) are lifting after announcing its first half profit results yesterday while Resolute Mining (ASX:RSG) is down 22 per cent following an unexpected letter from the Ghanaian Minerals Commission that the mining lease for the Bibiani gold mine has been terminated.

The ASX200 is tracking 19 points up or 0.3 per higher at 6,798. The SPI futures are suggesting a rise of 26 points.
