Key Developments: Metcash Limited

	Australian Market Report of July 2, 2010 JULY 2, 2010 09:30 - Article Views: 4,663 The Australian market fell for an eighth straight session on Thursday and closed at its lowest level in 11 months. The market opened lower after Wall Street fell on disappointing employment data in the US. Sentiment was dented further as a fall in China's purchasing managers' index for June raised concerns of a slowdown in Chinese economy. At the close, the benchmark S&P/ASX200 index slashed 64 points, or 1.49 per cent, at 4237.5 points. The broader All Ordinaries index was down 62.1 points, or 1.44 per cent, at 4262.7.
	Australian Market Report of December 11: Prospect for Further Rate Hikes DEC 11, 2009 09:30 - Article Views: 6,638 The Australian market declined for a fifth consecutive session on Thursday, even after a stronger-than-expected labour force report. The falls were led by resources shares and consumer discretionary. At the close, the benchmark S&P/ASX200 index dropped 31.2 points, or 0.7 per cent, at 4606.7 points, while the broader All Ordinaries index lost 29.7 points, or 0.6 per cent, to 4622.9 points.
	Australian Market Report of December 1: Focus Shifted to Domestic News DEC 1, 2009 13:00 - Article Views: 6,558 US stocks closed higher overnight as Dubai World said it was in discussions with banks to restructure US$26 billion in debt and the talks were proceeding on a constructive basis. Global markets strongly rebounded yesterday as investors realised that Dubai's trouble might be a regional problem.
	Australian Market Report of November 30: Markets Strongly Rebounded NOV 30, 2009 13:00 - Article Views: 5,895 Dow Jones Industrial Average Friday retreated about 1.5 per cent on concerns over the problem of Dubai World. But European shares reversed earlier sharp losses due to some bargain hunting buying.
	Australian Market Report of September 4: Gold Stocks Strengthened SEP 4, 2009 13:00 - Article Views: 7,326 Wall Street overnight ended the losing streak and edged higher after the better-than-expected retail sales data. The good sales data in August to some extent eased the concerns over the key US employment gauge which is scheduled to release on Friday.
	Australian Market Report of June 1: Stronger Confidence on More Signs of Recovery JUNE 1, 2009 13:00 - Article Views: 9,460 The Australian share market ended higher on Friday, led by banking stocks. The benchmark S&P/ASX200 index rose 62.4 points, or 1.66 per cent, to 3,818.1, while the broader All Ordinaries index gained 59.4 points, or 1.58 per cent, to 3,813.3.
	Australian Market Report of December 2: Recession Fears Come True DEC 2, 2008 13:00 - Article Views: 5,656 Yesterday, the S&P/ASX-200 share index fell about 1.6%, or 61.3 points, to 3681.2, while the broader All Ordinaries lost 53.7 points, or 1.5%, at 3619. Some US economic research institutions admitted the recession actually started last December, and now the questions are how bad and how long it will be.
	ASX Market Overview of July 11: Inflation Risks on Upside JULY 11, 2008 12:46 - Article Views: 5,216 Yesterday, the Australian share market ended more than 1% lower following sharp losses in the US overnight, with resources and the banks leading the decline locally.
