The sharemarket burst through the 5500 level to the highest in three months, as the rally in commodity prices continued amid optimism surrounding President-elect Donald Trump and next week's OPEC meeting.
The Friday session lacked direction early after Wall Street closed for the Thanksgiving Holiday, but ultimately pushed higher, with the S&P/ASX 200 Index ending 0.4 per cent higher at 5508, up 2.8 per cent for the week. The All Ordinaries ended 0.4 per cent higher at 5570.5, up 2.6 per cent for the week.
