The market started off flat today but has shot higher as the session went on ultimately recouping many of the losses of last week.  US data at the end of last week gave a positive lead in to the session and Laura and Stevie unpack this.  Four of the 11 sectors have seen declines but these are being counteracted by the performance of the financial sector, lithium miners are among the best performers today, and interest rates remain in focus.
