The S&P/ASX 200 index (XJO) gained 83 points or 1.4% on Tuesday, but the main focus was on the index’s year-on-year performance for fiscal 2020 which was down nearly 11%, not good news for investors locked into index hugging superannuation funds. On the commodities front, it was a big night for gold as it broke through the US$1800 per ounce mark before closing at US$1798 per ounce, up 1% on the previous day.
