*** At the close of business - "Stocks close marginally higher"
The Australian stock market closed marginally higher after strong gains in the resources and energy sectors outweighed heavy falls by the financials
At the close, the benchmark S&P/ASX200 index was 7.6 points higher at 5662.3, while the broader All Ordinaries gained 7.3 points to 5781.2
"The market has mainly been driven by gains in the energy and the resource sectors today" CMC Markets senior dealer Dominic Vaughan said
"It was mainly the financial sector dragging on the market, but they've since made a recovery and that is part of the reason why we have seen a rally back up today"
The market got off to a positive start despite a mixed lead from Wall Street, with the Dow Jones industrial average falling 7.90 points, or 0.06 per cent, to close at 12,638.32 on Friday
The spot price of gold was higher and was trading at $US884.10 an ounce, up $US8.90 on Friday's local close of $US875.20 an ounce
The gold miners were mixed, with Newmont putting on 10 cents to $4.92, Lihir finding four cents to $3.02 and Newcrest losing 20 cents to $31.64
Brett's shares in Worley Parsons were up by $1.93 to $39.23, an increase of 5.17%
