Afterpay Day The clue was in the SPI futures, which closed up 0.5% on Saturday morning after the S&P500 fell -0.5% on Friday night, and for no obvious reason. The trend this year has been that whenever the overnight futures make a seemingly oversized, contrarian move, a big buy/sell order is going to hit the ASX. Yesterday saw the banks, healthcare, energy, discretionary, staples and utilities all rally 1.3-1.9%, and it’s pretty difficult to justify why. Industrials, property and telcos chimed in with around 0.6%. Other than a couple of specific events yesterday, this looks very much like a “Buy Australia” order from someone, probably foreign, aided by the present level of the currency.
