Shares struggle to bounce

Tuesday 13 September 2016

Not much of a dead cat today for the ASX. Big Iron is rightly struggling as Dalian is only up a touch. BHP is 1%, RIO 0.8% but FMG is off again 4.3% after paying down some more debt:

Big Gas is worse, again rightly. The oil bounce is wrong. WPL is flat, OSH -1.8%, ORG -2% and a free-falling and soon to be equity raising STO -1.2%:

Big Gold has firmed with NCM 3.5%, RRL 3%, IGO 1%, SBM -0.7% and EVN 3.2%:

Big Debt has barely managed a smile with CBA still teetering right at the chart precipice -0.2%, WBC -01%, NAB-0.2% and ANZ flat:

It’s gunna break!
