Evening Wrap: ASX 200 logs ninth consecutive win to close out solid week of gains, as gold and iron ore stocks rally

Gold bugs won't care much about any of the "ish" stuff today, they're just relieved their favourite ASX gold stocks rebounded after what has been a very tough week-and-a-bit. After taking out the dubious honour of the worst ASX sector in 4 out of the 6 prior trading sessions – the Gold (XGD)...

Sing the song, Green Grass of Home, well it is a great one but here at home it is dry and dusty, with the offering of just perhaps, could be, might happen, on Friday next week the miniscule chance of a bit of rain.
 
Futures are pointing down 7 points or 0.1 per cent to 8360. After a good run, the S&P/ASX 200 Index closed last week at a three-month-high - it's now just 2.5 per cent shy of its record high in February.

US shares dropped in late trade on Friday and bond yields climbed after credit ratings agency Moody’s downgraded US debt one notch to Aa1, citing high government debt and increased interest costs.

Gold dipped toward US$3200 an ounce as Russia and Ukraine resumed direct talks for the first time in years

Iron ore slipped back below US$100 a tonne amid fading short-term demand optimism.

Evening Wrap: ASX 200 snaps winning streak as markets swing risk-off in wake of Moody's US credit rating downgrade

Nothing lasts forever, and the record shows that the ASX 200's recent winning streak has stopped at 8. Today's about-face is the result of a negative market response to major ratings agency Moody's downgrade of the US's credit rating. Sectors most reliant on global economic growth were hit the...

Evening Wrap: ASX 200 cheers RBA rate cut as interest rate sensitives power ahead, resources and energy stocks lag

Aussie investors joined Aussie morgage holders today in rejoicing the 0.25% cut in the Reserve Bank of Australia's (RBA) official cash rate. It was kind of lucky for investors that they did, because stocks were paring back early gains when the interest rate cut news broke. Best today, naturally...

Evening Wrap: ASX 200 closes at 3-month high on surging gold stocks, as Nufarm, James Hardie dumped on results

The S&P/ASX 200 logged its best close in 3-months today as gold stocks rocketed 5% on a rally in the gold price overnight. Within that 5% sector gain, were even better moves from the likes of Adriatic Metals (ADT) (+25.3%), Predictive Discovery (PDI) (+10.4%), and Perseus Mining (PRU) (+9.7%) -...

Sea of red in my US shares portfolio, one item to notice, BTC still up vs NASDAQ down, for a long time, BTC has been nearly a NASDAQ proxy, and did NOT behave as a digital gold.
Is it now finally happening?

Well i missed my entry toward the end of the session this morning Australia time.
As you, saw this and my buy lapsed.i put another at limit for tomorrow morning US session
 
Another nauseating day of red on my watchlist at present. The ASX is on that slippery pole sliding downnnnnnnnn
 
Had a quick sale of the mornings buy of CHN. One tractor rego now covered.
This saves dipping into the trading account at present.
 
ACE is a maybe, perhaps type, but anyway I topped up my holding a short while ago.
This script will be more than likely to find it rather comfortable in the bottom drawer for the time being.

It could have been a great deal worse today. A 40-odd point loss in the benchmark ASX 200 is never much fun, but it could have been an 80-odd point loss at the worst point of the day. Markets are again concerned about the US bond market. It's not "beautiful again" as President Trump assured us a...
