Stevie and Laura unpack a busy Thursday where the ASX jumped early on a US Fed rate cut, only to lose steam after a mixed local jobs report. The market still closed slightly higher, helped by gains in materials and real estate, while tech and healthcare dragged. Scentre Group was one of the standout performers after interest emerged in a potential stake sale at Westfield Sydney, Flight Center jumped on upgraded profit expectations following its UK cruise acquisition, and Myer surged on record Black Friday sales. On the weaker side, IAG slipped after the ACCC knocked back its planned WA insurance purchase.
