Back home, mining shares led the market higher, with the S&P/ASX 200 Materials Index (ASX: XMJ) rising 1%, driven by iron ore giants and lithium favourites.
The S&P/ASX 200 Health Care Index (ASX: XHJ) also outperformed, gaining 0.9%.
Meanwhile, an 4.7% gain from Viva Energy Group Ltd (ASX: VEA) wasn't enough to stop the S&P/ASX 200 Energy Index (ASX: XEJ) from falling 0.7% alongside oil prices. The black liquid's value slipped around 1% overnight.
So, with all that covered, let's take a look at the 10 shares outperforming all others on Thursday.
