Episode description

The ASX 200 index cracked 7,000 for just the second time in history today, before pulling back this afternoon to close at 6,998.80 - up 1.02%. The miners, banks and communications names were the winners today as the market nudged its pre-COVID record high. Fed Chair, Jerome Powell, speaks tonight but the consensus view is that the 'steady as she goes' sentiment will continue to dampen speculation that the central bank is behind the curve. Our top three VODs today are:
