The ASX200 edged higher on Monday, briefly hitting its ninth record in 11 sessions before slipping back below 9,000. Resource stocks rose on stronger gold, oil and iron ore prices, while banks weighed. Southern Cross Media and Aussie Broadband jumped around 20% on upbeat results, while Ansell, Pilbara Minerals, PolyNovo and Zip also gained. In contrast, Reece had one of its worst days in decades, with EVT and Endeavour also sliding. Investors now turn to a packed week of earnings from Coles, Fortescue and more, alongside growing expectations of a September US rate cut.
