It seems Brexit blues are far behind the Australian share market, following on from strong leads from Wall Street. The local bourse jumped at the open and is now tracking 1.45 per cent higher at noon. There is a sea of green across all sectors, but it’s healthcare, energy and mining stocks that are leading the way today. Not such a great day for the gold miners though, with the likes of Newcrest and St Barbara falling into the red.
The S&P/ASX 200 index is 75 points higher at 5,217. On the futures market the SPI is 84 points up.
