Market Close 08 August 23: James Hardie a surprising driver of the market today

Steve and Laura are back for the CommSec Market Update on a day where low consumer confidence may have contributed to a flat Australian market.  One of the strongest retail stocks of last year saw a drop in share price, James Hardie was a surprising driver of the market, and five of the sectors saw a decline.  Steve and Laura also look at what could be next for the market as reporting season starts to ramp up and inflation stats are expected from China.
