The ASX 200 recovered ground on Monday following last week's losses, rising half a percent on a choppy session marked by Middle East tensions. Tech stocks led the rebound after significant declines, while defensive sectors stabilised. Property and utility stocks declined due to ex-dividend trading. Major catalysts this week include US jobs data Thursday and significant dividend payouts from leading banks.
