Shares bask in ray of sunshine

Tuesday, 17 May 2016

The bulls are running today just because as big iron rockets with BHP is 3%, RIO 1.3% and FMG a ludicrous 6% as Dalian is flat:

Big gas at least has a rising price for its gains with WPL 2.3%, OSH 3.6%, STO 5% and ORG 4.3%:

Banks too are off to the races despite a very confused RBA:

CBA is 0.8%, WBC 04%, NAB -3.3% ex-div, ANZ 0.8%, BOQ 0.7%, SUN 0.7%, BEN 2.2% and MQG -1.7%.

Even poor old McGrath caught a little bid today 0.5% to $1.02.
