All Ords not getting carried away so far. The index is currently +1.5% with all sectors up bar Healthcare, -0.8%. REITs is leading the greens, +3.4%, IT next, +3.2% followed by Consumer Discretionary, +3%.

 

Basic buying on the big 2: BHP +1.6% and RIO +1.5%. Golds all down: Newcrest -3.7%, Newmont -7.5% and Lihir -5.5%.

 

Oils mixed: Woodside +2.4%, Santos -1.7% and Caltex +0.8%.

Okaaay, you could say the punters were generally unimpressed by the US action. All Ords seems to be finding reasonable support around the 3940 level so best guess is that we go into a sideways move with decreasing volatility.

 

The index closed -1.1% dragged down by Miners -4.5%, Materials -4.1% and Energy -2.2%. There were a number of green sectors including REITs +4%, Telecomms +2% and Consumer Discretionary +1.8%.

 

Miners got a right old hammering: BHP -4.7%, RIO -5.1%, Newcrest -6.4%, Newmont -8.9% and Lihir -5.3%.

 

Oils headed south: Woodside -2.7%, Santos -4.3% and Caltex -2.7%.

 

Asia mixed: China +1%, Honkers and India flat, Nikkers +1.8%, Sth Korea -1.4% and Taiwan -2.4%.

Slow untangling of market rates continues.

 

"The three-month dollar rate will decline about 10 basis points to 4.40 percent today, according to David Buik, a market anal cyst in London at interdealer broker BGC Partners Inc. It was 4.82 percent a week ago. The euro interbank offered rate, or Euribor, for three-month loans slid for a sixth day, easing 4 basis points to 5.05 percent today, the European Banking Federation said. It has dropped 33 basis points this week. "

i still think doc's 1929 crash pattern is still valid...

 

if so, we sell the opex open.

I'm still looking for approx. 200 points downside on the SPX starting sometime between now and Wednesday. I would change that stance if they can break the down-sloping trend channels to the upside. Today's action will be interesting fer sure.

 

Futures look schizophrenic. I'm surprised. I was expecting a gap up for OpEx, figuring they would try to take back 950 (of course, that could still happen in the next couple hours).

The landlord and the aussies went down overnight. Disbelief in a bounce.

agreed, when i posted today, the futures were pushing 950 and looked like it would gap up at the open.
