Australian LNG Commodities Iron ore price

Big iron and gas hang on grimly

Monday, 21 December 2015

Big iron can’t find a bid today despite the incipient price rebound with BHP up 0.2%. RIO down the same and FMG up just 0.9%. Dalian has opened a few points down from its Friday night jump:

Meanwhile, big gas is better despite the fact that Brent is in free fall and was immediately hit on its open in Asia. WPL is up 0.7%, OSH flat, ORG is up 2.2%, STO is up 1.5% and LNG dead cat bouncing up 6%:

A punt on a rebound tonight, I guess.
