The ASX 200 saw its first rise of the week, nearly recouping earlier losses and approaching a record high. The materials sector, benefiting from China's stimulus, surged, while financials rebounded slightly after a rough start to the week. Consumer discretionary stocks also performed well, led by Aristocrat Leisure, which hit an all-time high. Meanwhile, the energy sector struggled due to falling oil prices. Brickworks saw significant gains despite posting a loss, largely due to its long-standing dividend growth. Tomorrow will be a major day for dividend payments, with CBA and Fortescue leading the pack.
