Market review
The market made solid gains throughout the week with the S&P / ASX100 ending the week up 1%. The Australian dollar
lost ground early in the week but recovered to end flat at US92 cents.
A profit downgrade by Ausenco saw large losses and renewed speculation about the state of mining services. Ausenco
CFO Craig Allen was reported in the press stating that clients “aren't making decisions at this point in time or spending
capital”. LCC sees this as a key factor hindering markets, one which is likely to remain in the short term. The market as a
whole is likely to remain uncertain until the reporting season (in August) completes.
