The S&P/ASX 200 closed on October 13 at 8,783.90 points, up 0.7 points or 0.01 percent. The benchmark recovered from early losses as banks offset a technology sell-off, Yahoo Finance reported.

Commonwealth Bank rose 2.3 percent, the strongest gain among the major lenders. Its advance helped financials rise 1.4 percent, while the Reserve Bank of Australia's minutes kept inflation risks and further rate increases in focus.

Why did the S&P/ASX 200 finish flat?

The index traded lower for much of the session before banks supported a late recovery. Technology stocks fell 4.4 percent as concerns about artificial-intelligence valuations and Chinese chip competition spread across the region, Mining.com.au reported.

The RBA minutes said the board unanimously raised the cash rate to 4.60 percent and would tighten again if needed. The release cited persistent inflation risks and domestic cost pressures, The Business Times reported.
