So as has been the case since the conflict began, a lot can happen over the course of the weekend between Friday night and Monday morning.

So I'm sure we'll have a lot to catch up on Monday morning.

with Gil and James to kick off next week.

So we'll wait and see what happens there.

But looking across the different sectors today, we've seen energy just sneak into positive territory right as I'm speaking.

It has been, you know, softer for most of the day.

And that's partly because yesterday we did see oil prices surge to 126 US a barrel to a wartime high.

But they've since cooled to around 111 US a barrel.

So that's why we did see energy stocks just pulling back a little bit at the moment.

They're almost completely flat.

But look, 10 of 11 sectors are actually improving.

We're only seeing the financial sector edging lower by just a quarter of 1%.

The materials sector is the standout by far.

It's lifting a little over 2%, but this is after falling by 2.7%.

But if we look over the course of the week, we can see that only three of the 11 sectors improved.

Energy did do best because we did see oil prices lifting throughout the week.

They were up by around 5% for the week.

Industrials also up 1.5% for the week and real estate up by 1%.

The other sectors all falling back.

We've seen consumer staples take the biggest hit down five and a half percent and some losses across some of the other sectors over the course of the week.
