ASX set to open higher

wise-owl.comPowered by

U.S. stocks joined a global rally, sending the Standard & Poor’s 500

Index to its highest close this year, as investors reassessed stimulus

measures in Europe and warmed to the steps taken to boost growth.

The S&P 500 rose 1.6 percent to 2,022.19 at 4 p.m. in New York,

capping a fourth straight week of gains, the most since November. The

index gained 1.1 percent over the week.

Equities rallied Friday after a late-day rebound on Thursday erased a

selloff in the wake of expanded measures announced by the European

Central Bank, along with comments by President Mario Draghi that

suggested further cuts to interest rates were not likely.

The Stoxx Europe 600 Index climbed 2.6 percent to a six-week high,

boosted by gains in financial firms and automakers.

The index ended up 0.1 percent, posting its longest streak of weekly

gains in almost a year. The gauge has rebounded 13 percent from

February’s low, led by gains in commodity producers and banks.

from -0.3% to -0.4% and boosted its monthly bond purchases from $60

billion Euros to 80 billion Euros. It also added corporate bonds to the

DATE CODE COMPANY ANNOUNCEMENTACCC Approves for Coles to Acquire Five

Supabarn Supermarkets

Owner of the supermarket giant Coles, Wesfarmers (ASX:WES)

announced that The Australian Competition and Consumer

Commission (ACCC) has approved for its restructured proposal to

acquire five Supabarn supermarkets in the NSW and ACT regions.

Supabarn is a privately owned supermarket operator with nine

stores operating in the ACT and NSW and two development sites.

Apart from Coles and Woolworths, Supabarn is the only operator

providing ‘full-line’ supermarkets that include a liquor section in the

ACT region.

Coles had originally proposed to acquire all nine supermarkets

from Supabrarn. The competition watchdog had raised concerns

over the proposal in September 2015, stating that the acquisition

would most likely not result in a ‘healthy competitive’ environment.
