The Aussie dollar is stable today:

Bonds are a little bid:

As XJO powers to an 11 year high. Monthly chart below:

Now trading on 16.5x, plenty of room to blow more bubble as earnings don’t grow but the multiple does:

Dalian is nuts:

Big Iron up:

Big Gas is up with oil:

Big Gold down:

Big Banks are tearing it up on the dash for trash:

Big Realty too:

I can see this blowing higher now as earnings stall, bond yields fall and the equity risk premium skyrockets.
