The local market drifted higher ending a solid week for the local market - up around 1.8%. Most sectors finished in the green, led by strong performances in materials, communications and tech. Window dressing may be a factor in some of the market moves due to the proximity to quarter-end. Energy even managed to rally despite a decline in crude prices of more than 4% overnight. US futures are pointing to a gain of around 0.5% on Wall St tonight.
