And then right at the end of the week, we've got ANZ kicking off a very important period for the major banks, or at least most of them.

So they'll be handing down half-year results and kind of the rest of them will do so next week.

Good afternoon, I'm Steve Daglian.

It's Monday the 20th of April.

Welcome to the ComSec Market Update.

It is.

I can believe it because we sit next to each other most of the day and I was looking at the screens as well.

That's not different screens.

But look, you're right.

The market is slightly higher today.

Actually, at the lowest point, we were down as much as half a percent.

So a little bit of a decline.

I think what it really highlights is that the market isn't sure which way to head at the moment.

And I think it's understandable.

It follows a couple of days of declines.

We're stuck below 9,000 points for the ASX 200 at the moment.
