Dirt high-flyers tumble as banks rock the AAA

Big Iron has bifurcated today. Dalian is down a little more from overnight:

As Chinese bonds continue to get absolutely flogged:

And CNY to fall:

BHP is 1.1%, RIO 1.2%, FMG -3.3% and WHC -2%:

The high flyers look very vulnerable as the bulks keep falling.

Big Gas is firm:

Big Gold mixed:

Big Debt strong as the AAA is so far intact:

And Big Spruik mixed as well:

Not sure why the whole bourse is pleased today. Punting on S&P gains as tensions ease I guess.
