Australian shares edged higher on Friday to wrap up their best week in over a month, mainly driven by gains in technology stocks which rebounded after plummeting in the previous session.
The benchmark S&P/ASX 200 clawed back earlier losses to settle 0.6% higher at 7,120.1 points. It gained 1.9% for the week.
Technology stocks clocked gains of 1.1% in their first weekly jump since late-December. The gains came despite Facebook owner Meta losing over $200 billion in value overnight after a dismal forecast.
Sector leaders Block, Xero and Wisetech Global rose between 0.9% and 2.5%.
