Big Gas breaks on oil

Tuesday 2 August 2016

Big Iron has responded soberly to the building price bubble today as Dalian opens -2%. BHP is -0.8%, RIO 0.6% and FMG 0.2%:

The FMG bubble got some support after 58% iron ore rocketed and the discount dropped to -16%:

Big gas is finally responding to oil with WPL -1.5%, OSH -1.2%, ORG -2.3% and STO -3.6%:

Still, LNG shares are well behind the falls in the underlying commodity:

I do expect further catch-up.

Big Gold is consolidating with RRL, 0.7%, NCM -0.3%, IGO -2.6%, SBM -2.8% and EVN 0.5%:

It may be that the pullback is done. If oil falls further, as I expect, then gold aught to rise as even less US tightening is priced.

Big Usury is still trading sideways waiting for the RBA:
