The S&P ASX 200 was 0.1 per cent higher when trade ended yesterday after opening in negative territory. A little bit of a comeback coming through, said CommSec market analyst Steven Daghlian. Australias major miners helped lift activity on the back of higher oil prices, with BHP Billiton gaining 55 at $35.35 and Rio Tinto up 9 at $58.25. Iron ore miner Fortescue was 9 higher at $4.31. Energy and mining were two of the hardest-hit sectors a day earlier, but had turned things around and heartened investors, Mr Daghlian said. Theyve come back and certainly lifted things, he said. Thats contributing to the improvements. However, there were mixed performances among the big four banks. ANZ was 17 lower at $29.47, Commonwealth Bank shed 20 at $72.05 while National Australia Bank gained 4 at $32.36 and Westpac was up 11 at $40.08. Meanwhile, shopping centre giant Westfield was 8 lower at $11.05 after a weaker Australian dollar hit its profit. After Qantas announced it had returned to profit, its shares were 17, or 13.82 per cent, higher at $1.40. I cant remember the last time Qantas made up that sort of margin, Mr Daghlian said. But despite some positive news for the market including better-than-expected capital expenditure data the looming conflict in Syria remains a concern. Its at the forefront of the minds of investors, Mr Daghlian said. Despite Syria being quite a small player in the grand scheme of things when it comes to oil production, there are concerns that any sort of conflict there could potentially spread to neighbouring nations, such as Iraq. KEY FACTS n At the close yesterday, the benchmark S&P/ASX200 in dex was up 5.2 points, or 0.1 per cent, at 5092.4 points. n The broader All Ordinaries index was up 5.1 points, or 0.1 per cent, at 5083.1 points. n The September share price index futures contract was up six points at 5074 points, with 21,824 contracts traded.
