It was a positive start to the week with the market gaining almost 45 points. 10 of the 11 sectors finished up, with tech being the only one to decline. Health care was on top thanks to a lift in its biggest stock, CSL. EVT Limited, the owner of IMAX and event cinemas has made comeback thanks to big hits like Barbie and Oppenheimer, doubling its profits. Mining company Fortescue was down after some bad profit results and an unexpected change in its leadership team. Despite the gains today, August is still tracking to be the worst month of the year.
