This group is more mixed than most. Amcor, a global packaging company, rose on the day, while the two gold producers, Perseus and Genesis, fell. Each company's latest reporting period is different, so the release data below is shown with its own date and is not linked to the session. Readers looking for context on the session can compare the three moves with the wider materials and metals indices. The session was a broad sell-off across ASX resources. The S&P/ASX 300 Metal & Mining index (XMM) fell 2.92% to 7,699.50, the S&P/ASX 200 Materials Index (XMJ) fell 2.51% to 22,604.40, and the S&P/ASX 200 (XJO) was down 0.49% at 9,020.80. Overnight, the S&P 500 fell 4.36%, the Nasdaq 5.52% and the Nikkei 225 5.80% at the 5 November close, and the session data links the local move to that international weakness. Gold was quoted at US$4,076.20 (down 0.91%), silver at US$51.98 (down 0.67%) and copper at US$13,777.00 (down 0.18%).

Sector Context

The materials index fell 2.51% and the metals index fell 2.92% on the day, while gold was quoted at US$4,076.20. Amcor's move ran against the broader market, and its release relates to a prior reporting period. Both gold producers reported operating data that the session data does not connect directly to the day's move.
