ASX closed flat today at 5433.8 after recovering from heavy fall at the open to post a modest gain of 1.8-points.
ASX was positively affected by Commonwealth Bank of Australia's rise on bumper first quarter profits and continued gains of mining stocks, it was also supported by stronger than expected bulk commodity prices and shrinking trade deficit.
Commonwealth Bank of Australia (CBA) did the most heavy lifting, rising 1.3 per cent to a record $77.96, after earnings in the quarter ended September 30 surged 14 per cent to $2.1 billion, boosted by lower bad debts and gains in the home loan market.
