Banks, dirt soar. Gold and Domainfax plunge
Dalian is quiet today: I’m not calling any tops in the Banana Man bubble. It’s impossible to do so given it is entirely self-referential. Big Iron is soaring as it took off last night in London: It’ll end when it ends… Big Gas is up solidly: The oil short squeeze probably needs a bit more

China booms, Banana Man pukes
There’s nothing like good growth to upset Banana Man. After all, that means less stimulus which is all that matters: Big Iron is down too: Big Oil is also sagging: And Big Gold: Big Bubble too: And Big Liar: EOFY sell! Avagoodweekend.

Banana Man is back and he’s buying!
I thought he’d been whipped but how wrong I was. Banana Man is back and he’s buying Dalian: He doesn’t need a reason when he has himself. Big Iron is booming: How far it can get I have no idea. It is has no underpinning to guide us. Big Gas is flying too on the

ASX dead cat screeches again
Dalian soft today which makes sense since its outlook is getting worse not better: But the technical action is enough to have reversed some of yesterday’s losses in Big Iron: Big Gas stinks of false hope today as it rises a little: Oil going sub-$40 in my view… Which means Big Gold is a buy

There’s gold in that thar Fed
From Macquarie: Fed still gold’s key risk and opportunity The Fed remains the key risk and opportunity for gold. Raising rates despite low inflation, and promising far more hikes to come, seems bearish gold and in the short-term it is. But ultimately we believe the Fed will realise it can’t deliver –so rates will

ASX slammed by oil, jobs

ASX dead cat howls higher
Don’t look for rationality here. Dalian is soft: But Big Iron is mostly up: FMG is up 1% even as iron ore hits new lows. Makes no sense but the 58% discount has eased a little so not entirely crazy, either. More losses ahead. Big Gas is mixed: No upside here as oil falls with

Enjoy long weekend, buy a bank
That seems to be the depth of reasoning overtaking the share market today as banks soar. After all, nothing says buy banks more than a crashing global yield curve and an even more rapidly deteriorating local economy. Booya! Go figure. Meanwhile, Dalian is OK so far: Though Big Iron is not so good following overnight

Iron ore falls, miners pull a Costanza
Dalian is moderately ill today: But it’s Costanza day on the market, “do the opposite”: Perhaps it’s this tripe from CBA: “Rising seaborne and domestic Chinese supply and muted restocking demand help explain the recent slump in iron ore prices,” he says. “The higher prices that prevailed earlier this year likely reflected temporary factors, such

Fortescue breaks as Dalian weighs
Dalian is soft today: Big Iron is down: FMG has broken to new lows. Here’s the monthly chart: How low does it go? All the way in my view. Although it has deleveraged, it is now confronting a potential structural shift in the steel market in which abundant lower quality ore becomes the fulcrum for
