Oil stocks are mostly higher. Beach energy, Santos and Woodside Energy are gaining more than 1 percent each, while Origin Energy is advancing more than 3 percent. Among tech stocks, Zip is adding more than 3 percent, Xero is advancing more than 1 percent and Afterpay-owner Block is rising almost 2 percent, while WiseTech Global is edging down 0.2 percent. Appen is flat.

Among the big four banks, Commonwealth Bank is gaining more than 1 percent, ANZ Banking is edging up 0.3 percent and National Australia Bank is adding almost 1 percent, while Westpac is losing almost 1 percent.

Gold miners are mixed. Gold Road Resources is edging down 0.3 percent and Resolute Mining is losing almost 1 percent. Northern Star Resources is adding more than 1 percent, while Evolution Mining and Newmont are edging up 0.1 to 0.3 percent each.

In other news, shares in Telix Pharmaceuticals are jumping more than 7 percent after Citi initiated coverage with a "buy" rating, saying the medical diagnostics giant's prostate cancer treatment has the potential to become a "blockbuster drug".
