Markets Live: Telstra's day to forget

Earnings season is in full swing.

Shares eke out a small gain despite Telstra suffering its worst session since August 2010 on a heavy day of earnings, while the Aussie dollar recovers its post-Trump losses.

Telstra plunge keeps cap on ASX gains

Local markets followed strong leads from the S&P500 to a 21-month high in early trade, but rapidly lost ground.

Telstra's biggest plunge in more than six years weighed on investor sentiment on Thursday, but the overall market still managed to eke out a small gain.

8@eight: $A the currency king

Conditions are optimal for the Australian dollar right now.

Well, it's clear the AUD is the king of the G10 currency block right now and the market has an insatiable love affair with the 'Aussie' and as long as financial conditions stay as they are then the AUD really only goes one way. Great for those thinking of holidaying in southern Europe in August.
