Meanwhile, shares of Piedmont closed trading at AU$0.88 per share, down 5.38% on ASX today. This is inline with the ASX 200 Materials index, which was 0.49% down at 15,349.40 points today (23 September).
Despite the positive news, Piedmont shares closed in the red today. This was mainly because of the broad ASX market, which closed 1.87% lower at 6,574.70 points today. Fears of a harsh reaction on Wall Street to a significant rate hike put pressure on the local market the whole session. The Federal Reserve is anticipated to raise its benchmark rate by at least 0.75 percentage points tonight.
On a sectoral front, all 11 sectors bled in red today; however, the materials sector was the less impacted sector.
