See the latest Australian dollar analysis here:
Asian share markets are again quite mixed with Japanese stocks this time not moving while local shares pull back inline with the Brisbane (and greater QLD?) lockdowns, while Chinese shares surge. Bitcoin remains relatively strong but unchanged above the $57K level while gold is really struggling here after collapsing overnight and is now threatening the $1700USD per ounce level:
The Shanghai Composite is surging again going into the close, currently up 0.5% to 3456 points while the Hang Seng Index is punching even higher, up a solid 1% to 28641 points. Japanese markets however are putting in scratch sessions on the back of comments from Governor Kuroda with the Nikkei 225 closing at the 29388 point level while the USDJPY pair continues to head higher, a smidge away from the 110 handle:
The ASX200 is the worst market again, this time lead down by the Brisbane lockdowns with a near 1% loss, heading back to 6738 points with the Australian dollar edging slightly higher after its tepid start to the trading week, now zeroing in on the mid 76 level but still looking depressed at weekly lows:
Eurostoxx and S&P futures are mixed with the latter up slightly as the four hourly chart of the S&P500 shows price wanting to get back the previous session losses and head through the 4000 point magical barrier which has remained elusive:
The economic calendar ramps up tonight with German inflation, US consumer confidence and house prices.

I love your once a day comment, thank you , very informative :))
wonder if prime brokers have been financing crypto positions?
As per Blokes edition earlier.
It definitely does cut both ways. Had a Sheila threaten me if I didn’t go out with her. Another, 2 in one day years ago, had to go to to Queensland as president of ANBB for bodybuilding contest and the airhostess stopped me getting off the plane and had to fend her off repeating I’m a married man. Then the Queensland president asked me to share a room at the Coolum resort with a competitor which ended up being a female. That night she stripped off asking me to oil her up. No one would have known you may say but the most important person would have known,
, me.
I hate it when that happens.
I’m sure that type of thing would have happened to a lot of blokes who don’t bother mentioning it because the attack wasn’t done by the prettiest girl in town.
With the lights off, they’re all pretty …
Reusa’s corollary: … and female.
As my non politically correct work colleague from Indian once said to me in a heavy Indian accent. All pu**y feels the same.
You have the best recollections, this and the exploding boat yesterday, I just haven’t lived
This would have happened to you and other MBers to a certain degree but deemed not worthy of your memory banks. People usually remember the knock backs due it being important to you but fail to recognize who they knock back at the time due to lack of importance which in turn is important to that person.
Ahhh yeah I’ve never encountered the oil me up challenge in my 46 years 😒
As pitcher or catcher?
Asking for Haroldous.
In spite of me driving around in my Plumbers ute, windows down, playing “Laying Pipe” on the cars stero at full volume I too have never had anyone hit me up for an at work shagg.
I must be an ugly cnvt.
Sigh,…😪
Ermo, chapeau!
Also, I suppose you’re lucky as a plumber, because as a sparky, you’d be laying cable….
@Ermo I had 1 woman make a move. But I’m glad I turned her down.
Later I found this out. Her name is Jennifer.
Crazy stuff..

Bloke! How many times in your life has that happened?
Three? And you are/were built like a Boomer.
Even if you think really hard it may be impossible to recollect your instances as even at the time you may have been unaware of your admirers.
Btw true more than 3 at varing degrees
Boom, I made the mistake of briefly dating a woman who turned out to be very nutty, and stalked me after we broke up. In the end it got to the point of having to get the police involved.
That has happened once in my life. On the other hand, my wife, and her friends can recount many, many occasions of having unwanted advances, bad behavior, workplace harassment and in some cases rape. Often from their workplace colleagues and bosses.
A few of my mates have been on the end of batshit crazy behavior, but not many. It’s rare. All of my wife’s friends can recount endless tales of men’s bad behavior, from the time they were teens.
It’s real. It happens far more to women than men.
Arthur,
Very much a case of :were: . Past acquaintances first dialogue begins with “where’s the rest of you”.
++ this.
I sometimes have memories and think you missed a golden opportunity there you fool. I was a bit of a soft ck as a young bloke not forward enough.
Once had a girl in a share house come into my room at 1am to tell me something really important whilst I was asleep in bed. Very sus, I was nearly secually assualted.
Bloke, are you in the closet or something?
Thats the benefit of sowing your wild oats when you’re young. You know what you are not missing out on after being married.
True dat.
Do Liberals sleep hanging upside down because they can’t lie straight in the crypt?
have to ask totsbewoke i dont sleep with libs (nothing personal its just no attraction)
To be fair they don’t sleep with each other either, they just busy splooging and splooshing on each other’s desks
Lol true and it made it to the news!!
If you looked at the market internals for bitcoin – fund outflows, correlated assets (gold, tech) – you would have to conclude bitcoin should be falling. And yet it isn’t.. wonder why?
Bitcoin never falls. It’s all upside. No risk. Everyone will pile into it when the other stuff goes down. It’s the ultimate hedge. It never needs ironing; never needs ironing; never needs ironing.
I like ironing, best feel wearing crisp ironed shirt,
Unlike Christian Porter’s shirt.

Wow PowerLedger!
Forget his/her correct name (Aussie1929 or something). Tipped PowerLedger when it was ~40cents only a few weeks ago. Now at 70cents. Well called.
I am happy to take most of the credit because I’ve been watching it without owning it.
Mate that’s less than a 100% increase in a few weeks! Which is basically going backwards in crypto land.. You need 5 baggers minimum in that time frame😂
It’s interesting how language and it’s message to society can change over time …
…remember the famous King Hit ….ie the big man delivering his dominating best to some unsuspecting innocent ……well when it was recognised for what it was
it became “the cowards punch ” ….far more appropriate
So I nominate “Property investment “ (in residential family homes ) as needing change to …. “kiddie stealing property
investment ) ….. sorry Reusa ……but deep down …..I know you agree
That’s a bit of a kick in the cojones for an alpha male like our reusa?
Reusa is always asking for moar…
Except with rates
“Lower teh rates, that’ll fix everything “
Been watching the Luna Park fire doco. Seems all those kids who died were just collateral damage in the grab for property.
Australia never changes.
I remember that night very clearly. I was a kid at home in Pyrmont (back when real people lived in Pyrmont) and from our loungeroom window we saw all these flashing red lights going over the Harbour Bridge, and a lot of smoke coming from what we thought was Luna Park. My dad turned the radio on and told us there was a fire going on at Luna Park. We didn’t know at that stage that people had died but from the amount of smoke produced, we knew something awful had happened. I remember the crowds in Sydney for the funeral and as a young boy myself, the death of those 6 young boys and the father really hit home. Terribly sad time.
That Abe Safron bloke deserved to be killed by one of those parents.
Pity none of it came out till now.
Bloody Neville Wran and Lionel Murphy deserved to cop it in the back of the head too.
A shameful cover-up.
Lucky the ALP cleaned itself up back in the 1980s or they might have a credibility problem in NSW.
I think your being a little facetious there 007
I’ve never met an ALPer who isn’t a crook! That’s why I only associate with conservatives!!
$AU gold forming a nice S bend
Neville Wran, Lionel Murphy, Abe Safron mentioned in the one MB blog in 2021! Who would’ve thought? Oh so many memories…..?
