The ASX 200 closed down 4 points at 6995 as it clawed its way back from a 30 point loss as enthusiasm waned on vaccine issues. Travel stocks weakened but banks were solid  and industrials. CSL fell 1% on teh vaccine news and big miners flat. Gold stocks though saw some gains especially in the second tier with SLR up around 6%.

A good solid week for the market climbing 2.4% in a quiet melt up.
