ASX continues to climb, despite outage
The S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) notched up another week of solid gains last week, pushing the index to its third week in a row of a finish in the green. Since the start of the month, the ASX 200 has added nearly 10%, meaning we are on track to see the best month for ASX 200 shares since April. Back then, the index was coming out of the coronavirus-induced freefall that we saw in March, making this month even more extraordinary. At the level the ASX 200 closed at on Friday afternoon (6,539 points), we are only 1.3% away from reaching the level the index began 2020 at, and 8.7% away from the all-time high of 7,162 points we saw in mid-February.
And all that was despite the… unexpected outage we saw in ASX trading on Monday.
