Dalian opens, crashes

Friday 13 May 2016

The hopium persists today for big iron as Dalian opens and crashes suggesting another 5% drop in iron ore Monday if it holds. BHP is only down -1.9%, RIO -2% and the always deluded FMG -1.2%:

I can only repeat my warning that I would not be long iron ore into this weekend’s Chinese data flow!

Big gas is taking some profits despite the oil rally as WPL sinks -0.7%, OSH -1.3%, ORG -0.3%, STO -2.4%:

Banks are likewise with CBA -0.9%, WBC -1.4%, NAB -0.6%, ANZ -0.95%, BOQ -1%, SUN – 0.3%, BEN flat and MQG flat:
