CSL Limited climbed A$2.66 to A$117.65 on Thursday. The stock is up 5.0% over two sessions. Healthcare names rose 2.6%, while the broader Australian market traded lower. ASX moves on Tuesday had the feel of a currency and sector play, not a reaction to CSL earnings. The Aussie dollar fell to 68.91 US cents, lifting the local dollar value of earnings made in US dollars. IG analyst Tony Sycamore said a “renewed slide in key commodity prices” was the driver as the US dollar got stronger.

Commonwealth Bank of Australia (ASX:CBA) drops A$3.5 billion on Judo Capital (ASX:JDO) warning

Commonwealth Bank of Australia shed around A$3.5 billion in market cap on Thursday as Judo Capital’s bad-loan alert weighed on Australian banks.

That 1.27% fall cut about A$3.50 billion off its closing market value of A$272.27 billion, which is roughly 5.3 times the A$660 million market cap loss at Judo.
