Across markets…
Australian shares slipped 0.6% on Friday as Victoria prepares to head into a five-day lockdown. The ASX 200 faded from Monday’s 11-month high to lose 0.5% for the week.
All of Victoria will be under Stage 4 restrictions from 11.59pm tonight, in response to fears the UK strain is spreading faster than contact tracers can keep up. Predictably, the market’s travel, property, and hospitality-aligned names were lower on Friday.
Wall Street’s lead was weak. US futures were last down 0.2% and hinting at a weak start in New York tonight.
Bitcoin hit a new record high, jumping to $US48,975 ($63,169) after New York banking giant BNY Mellon became the latest major firm to embrace cryptocurrencies.

Emerging high purity alumina (HPA) producer Altech Chemicals (ASX: ATC) is to begin work on a pre-feasibility study for the proposed construction of a battery materials HPA coating plant in the German state of Saxony.
The company says this follows its strategy to focus on tailoring its HPA into specialised products targeted at more efficient applications within the lithium-ion battery industry.
The study, by its 75%-owned German subsidiary Altech Industries Germany (AIG), will investigate the commercial viability of constructing a battery metals coating plant within an industrial park where it has an option over a 14 hectare site.
The plant would use Altech’s alumina technology to coat anode grade materials with HPA, and which would be supplied to the “rapidly growing European lithium-ion battery industry”.

Japan’s benchmark stock average Nikkei snapped a four-session rally on Friday, slipping from a more than 30-year high hit in the previous trading session, as investors booked profits but gains in Toyota Motor and chip shares capped the losses.
Nikkei share average edged down 0.23% to 29,495.01, after hitting a fresh high since August 1990 on Wednesday. The broader Topix inched up 0.04% to 1,931.68.
Markets were closed on Thursday for a public holiday.
“Investors are taking a pause as they wait for the market price to consolidate after a recent sharp rise,” said Koichi Kurose, chief strategist at Resona Asset Management.
“The gain in the past few weeks was led by optimism for each individual company, not by the growth for overall industries. Investors are waiting to confirm whether the recovery is true.”
