Bank shares are the new black today as CBA rises 1.1%, WBC 1.7%, NAB 1.8%, ANZ 2%, BOQ 2.1%, SUN 0.6% and BEN 2.4%:
The cause of the buying is globally contracting credit spreads (as I noted this morning) which had CBA CDS down 122bps on Friday (and my guess is another break lower today):

To my mind the trend wider will remain intact but until oil turns we’ll keep this buying up.
