The COB from ausbiz

The S&P/ASX200 closed up Thursday, gaining 14.5 points or 0.2% to 7,341, but the market looked listless. Energy weighed and the banks failed to launch. Still, tech continues it's mini-revival. Zip Co quietly up 13.7%, a little love still in reserve for Nuix, climbing 9.5%. And they were busy bankers at Macquarie on Thursday - joining the race for Sydney Airport and snapping up AMP Capital's Global Equities and Fixed Income business. Come Friday, come to me.
