The local share market has finished higher, with the tech sector leading the way, but the gains were far more muted than for its overseas counterparts.
The benchmark S&P/ASX200 index on Friday finished up 32.4 points, or 0.43 per cent, to 7,643.6, while the broader All Ordinaries had added 33.9 points, or 0.43 per cent, to 7,899.2.
For the week the ASX200 finished down 0.2 per cent, basically reversing its gains from the week before, as a global AI-fuelled rally in equities bypassed Australian shores.
