NIB jumps, a2 Milk rebounds, WiseTech sinks lower
At lunch on Monday the S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) looks set to start the shortened week with a disappointing decline. The benchmark index is currently down 0.4% to 6,648.9 points.
Here’s what has been happening on the market today:
Private health premium increases.
Medibank Private Ltd (ASX: MPL) and NIB Holdings Limited (ASX: NHF) shares are both pushing higher on Monday after the Federal Minister for Health approved health insurance premium increases for 2021. While Medibank has recorded its lowest increase in two decades, NIB has increased its premiums by a larger than normal amount. This reflects rising healthcare costs and its lower premium base compared to the industry average.
