The recent winning streak has ended abruptly today, and Laura and Stevie reflect on this session which follows 7 straight days of gains.  The energy sector has weighed on local markets amid price slumps and supply changes, and the tech sector and financials have seen declines with the big banks dragging on local markets.  They discuss the recent election, Westpac’s earnings results, what to expect in the week ahead, and the stocks that caught attention including SmartPay and Qantas.
