CBA hovers at the brink as miners sell

Friday 26 February 2016

The share market is one nervous Nelly again today ignoring positive overnight leads as banks can’t catch a bid. CBA is down -0.5% and still at the chart precipice, WBC and NAB down the same, ANZ flat. In regionals BOQ is -2.33% and approaching new lows, SUN -1% and BEN flat:

Big iron is being hit as BHP falls -2.13%, RIO -3.1% and FMG -4.7. Dalian has opened firmer after last nights big fall:

Big gas is not following oil’s lead higher. WPL is -2.7% and still looks very vulnerable to me, OSH -1.3%, ORG flat, STO -0.7% and LNG flat:

Looks like one punch drunk bourse.
