The local share market has staged a late afternoon comeback to finish in the green for the ninth session in a row, its longest winning stretch in nearly a decade.
The benchmark S&P/ASX200 index also finished above 8,000 on Wednesday for the first time since a sharp two-day sell-off two-and-a-half weeks ago, climbing 12.8 points, or 0.16 per cent, to end at 8,010.5.
