The ASX200 jumped 1.3% on Monday, snapping a week of declines and lifting the index to within 6.5% of its October record high. Tech and industrial stocks led the rise, while energy fell as oil slipped. Notable moves included Qube soaring 19.5% on a $11.6 bn Macquarie offer and DroneShield edging higher despite a steep MTD loss. Investors will watch Wednesday’s inflation print, the US Fed rate decision on 10 Dec, and a busy roster of AGMs later in the week.
