MARKET WRAP:


ASX200: down 0.28%, 8,330


GOLD: $2,751 US/oz


BITCOIN: $156,644 AUD




Tech reversed its recent falls, staying green as the two biggest companies Wisetech and Xero finished higher. 


A lift in the spot price of gold back over $2700 US an ounce helped local miners today.


Perseus and Regis both rose 0.7%, and Evolution was up 0.6%.


Also rising by more than 1% were Suncorp, Qantas and Pro Medicus.


Downer shares fell 6% to $5.37, while Ventia lost more than 22% to finish at $3.33.
