ASX bath of blood overflows again as FAANG breaks

David Llewellyn-Smith

Friday, 1 May 2020

The Aussie dollar is selling strongly this morning:

Bonds are basically glued to the spot:

XJO is smashed 3% and more:

Big Iron is down:

Big Oil too:

Big Gold is pounded:

Big Banks have gone nowhere in this rally:

Big Chunt thinks it’s all good as usual:

The bullish hysteria has been upset by Amazon missing and Apple pulling guidance.

Yesterday that would have doubled their prices!

Beware the volatility.
