  • Qantas Airways Limited (ASX: QAN) – up 3%
  • Newcrest – up 2.9%

The Big Banks had a soft day of trading, with the financial sector trading mostly flat for the day. The two big miners on the ASX, BHP Billiton Limited (ASX: BHP) and Rio, picked up some of the slack, rising 1.5% and 1.2%, respectively.

Gold miners also helped the ASX 200 move higher today. Shares of Newcrest, Evolution and Northern Star Resources gained considerable ground as the gold price spiked to a four-month high over the weekend. Read more here.
