The S&P/ASX200 closed lower Thursday, dropping 0.48% to 7061.7 after resetting its 52-week high just a day earlier. Spoiled for choice, the worst of the worst was a tight run thing between: Nearmap Ltd, down 22.03% and a miserable Appen Ltd, down 20.64%.Both unfortunately now much more limited than before. Anyway, despite a bloodbath for the banks, grim tidings for gold and a terrific tech sell-off, the broader index has only lost 0.3% over the last five days. A rout it ain't. So. Put that one in the memory bank and let's go get some Friday.
