Today’s advance extended the benchmark’s advance for the month to almost 6.5 percent, its best return since a 9.95 percent surge in November 2020.Supermarkets and healthcare companies provided much of the momentum, supported by bulk metal miners and some of the banks. Tech stocks and battery metal miners dragged.What’s driving the marketThe Australian benchmark looked set to end a strong month at a fresh nine-month high. Today’s advance carried the index to within 1.9 percent of its 2021 record.The market extended its gains after a collapse in retail sales alleviated pressure on the Reserve Bank to raise benchmark rates next week. Retail turnover contracted 3.9 percent last month as the increasing cost of living dampened buying. The decline was the first in 12 months.“The large fall in December suggests that retail spending is slowing due to high cost-of-living pressures. Retail businesses reported that many consumers had responded to these pressures by doing more Christmas shopping in November to take advantage of heavy promotional activity and discounting as part of the Black Friday sales event,” Ben Dorber, head of retail statistics at the Australian Bureau of Statistics, said.The Reserve Bank meets next week for the first policy meeting of 2023.

The Indonesia-focussed miner produced 23,072 tonnes of nickel metal, up from 20,275 tonnes the previous quarter. Record sales of US$371.2 million helped generate record earnings of US$90 million.Centuria Industrial REIT climbed 0.3 percent to a seven-month high after reaffirming guidance for its full-year distribution and funds from operations.

The company lowered its revenue guidance from $205-$230 million to $170-$190 million. Forecast earnings dropped to $10-$15 million from previous guidance of $25-$30 million.
