Here are the top 10 ASX stocks today, Wednesday, May 18th

Today, S & P / ASX 200 index (ASX: XJO) mimicked a solid performance on Wall Street last night. The move was sustained, despite data on wage growth in Australia below expectations. According to the results of the session, the reference index ended higher by 0.99% and amounted to 7182.7 points.

The other day green markets materials were the sector that crossed the finish line with the best performance with a 2.5% increase. It was followed by strong rallies in technology, real estate and industry.

The main reason for today’s strength may be a consequence of US data showing a rise in retail spending of 0.9% last night. However, tomorrow we will see how markets react to the level of inflation in the UK, which reaches a 40-year high of 9%.
