The ASX 200 headed south in early trade before building up a head of steam mid-morning and closing up 0.5% at a 13-month high of 7,058.60. The momentum continues despite a lack of themes for investors to grab hold of. Miners (with the exception of gold) and energy led the gainers while communications and utilities weighed.

But these figures don't cover the end of JobKeeper on 28 March. The top three VODs today are:
