Closing Bell 5th September: NextDC jumps despite no updates. XJO slightly higher as markets wait for payrolls

The ASX 200 is up 0.3% at midday, reaching 7976 points, despite a drag from energy giant Woodside. This follows the worst session in over a month on Wednesday, driven by weak US manufacturing data. Technology, real estate, and banking stocks are leading gains, helping offset Woodside’s 6.2% drop to $25.35 after a Citi downgrade to “sell” and lower oil prices, compounded by ex-dividend trading.
