Markets Live: Aussie slides on RBA speech

The ASX looks set for a flat week.

The Aussie drops below US79c after the RBA's Guy Debelle warns about reading too much into 'neutral rate' discussion, while shares slide on US political worries.

Topsy-turvy week for ASX

The benchmark S&P/ASX 200 index slipped 0.1 per cent to 5758.8 points, despite some gains on Wall Street.

Bank stocks lost steam on Friday as investors booked profits after two days of strong gains, weighing on the overall market.

Smiles galore as banks drive up ASX

Banks again led the ASX higher in a session full of corporate action, while solid job numbers briefly lifted the Aussie dollar to a fresh high.

"Expect more bull," writes Hasan Tevfik, head of Australian equity research at Credit Suisse.

'Expect more bull' in equities

Investors have reason to cheer as a global economic recovery paved the way for earnings growth to spread to all sectors of the economy, Credit Suisse says.
