‘Muted start’: ASX 200 finishes Monday up 0.01 per cent

Sky News Business Reporter Ed Boyd says the ASX 200 had a “muted start” to the week, closing the day up 0.01 per cent. Oil companies and property REITs were the worst performers, and banks and tech stocks were weaker as well. Auto parts retailer and Autobarn owner Bapcor jumped 4.75 per cent but is down 25 per cent in the past month. Property developer Lend Lease plunged 2.87 per cent after telling the market it was going to fight the Australian Tax Office over a $112 million tax bill.
