On a daily chart the local index has made a higher low and now needs to move above the swing high to show some strength.

The local market remains in the bottom half of the last years trading range.

The price of gold has fallen below $1800 again.

A few companies look to be moving higher after making a higher low then breaking up through the previous swing high including Aristocrat Leisure and Dominoes’ Pizza and we added both to the educational portfolio today.

Xero could be forming a bottoming pattern.

A few biotech’s including Telix are on the move.

Polynovo.

Life 360 is on the move and we bought some today.

This historic look at 3-year bond yields and the cash rate shows there is a decent gap between the two at present and higher rates is only one way that gap could close.

This graph shows there can be significant and lengthy declines in stock market values. Perhaps we are due for another lengthy pause.
