ASX 200 predicted to kick off in negative territory after recent ‘holding pattern’

CommSec’s Tom Piotrowski says the ASX 200 is predicted to kick off “ever so slightly in negative territory”. “The Futures are telling us we will be down by around 0.1 of a per cent,” he told Sky News Australia. “We have really been in a bit of a holding pattern the last couple of days. “Yesterday, the market only up by about 0.1 of a per cent – the positive there being that we have preserved that very significant improvement on Tuesday.” Presented by CommSec.
