Sentiment steady, still positive into the Xmas break and New Year
The market continued in a fair weather mode during the week without any disruptions either way. Christmas is coming, and everything seems fine. Placements kept coming thick and fast, sucking liquidity out of the market as everyone is preparing for the summer holiday period in Australia. If the trend continues into January, we should have a prosperous New Year. (This will be the final publication of 2017, with the next one coming out in mid January).
