ASX bath of blood drains into bank rip

The Australian dollar is pulling back a little from the overnight surge:

Bonds are firm:

XJO is holding:

Underneath the bonnet, however, there is considerable action. Big Iron is copping it:

Big Gas marches on:

Big Gold is bashed:

But Big Banks have launched as Australia’s virus victory percolates:

The financials index has very a bullish breakout chart:

And some relative value argument at 14-15x forward. Hardly cheap but relative value:

Not so Big Chunt:

ASX bath of blood is draining into a bank rip.
