Australian dollar, ASX hold on grimly

David Llewellyn-Smith

Wednesday 21 March 2018

The Aussie dollar has tacked on a few points during the day:

Bonds are off:

XJO is modestly up:

Dalian is fading as the day goes on:

Big Iron is dead catting it anyway:

Big Gas is tracking oil. I am not a believer:

Big Gold is mixed. More downside here too:

Big Sleazy is catching a break:

Big Puswad is firm:

And Big Retail is trying to make up its mind:

All is quiet approaching the Fed tonight.
