ASX bath of blood quivers as virus runs amok

David Llewellyn-Smith

Monday 26 October 2020

The Australian dollar is weakish this morning:

Bonds are bid:

Stocks are up a little, defying weak futures:

Big Iron is sliding towards a test of 2020 rally corrective lows:

Big Gas is up as oil gets hosed:

Big Gold is signalling more DXY strength ahead:

Big Banks are up with the property bubble though, really, the rally has only followed the global curve steepening. W

here it goes, we go:

It is my view that that putative curve steepening is more likely to get pancaked than keep going as the virus runs amok.
