Fast FT on Australian markets ahead of the RBA today:
- The S&P/ASX 200 was up 0.8 per cent, led by banking stocks as they recouped declines from the previous session.
- ANZ Banking Group reported a drop in profits and cut its interim dividend, but investors viewed this as more of a turning point for the stock and pushed it higher.
Fast Ft is gated, but here is the link

interestingly, Westpac reported poor results yesterday and the share was sold down ... ANZ reports poor today and up it goes. Financial markets, eh?
