The S&P/ASX200 closed lower Thursday, dropping 41 points or 0.55% to 7,486. Wall Street closed mixed overnight, with some of the big names in Aussie business going ex-dividend here at home. BHP closing 6.9% the worse for wear, United Malt Group (UMG) giving away 6.1% on weaker guidance. The uncanny adventures of Altium (ALU) - dissed by Macquarie, loved by Citi - climbing 4.8%, while Clinuvel (CUV) finding more admirers, the medtech gaining 4.6%. Tomorrow is Friday, or as we say in China, 星期五.
