The local market has been edging up over the past week. Today’s fall comes after a higher-than-expected inflation reading out of the US which sent their markets tumbling. At lunchtime only three companies out of the top 200 were in positive territory.

The price of gold looks be on the precipice and headed for a big fall if support is broken. Watching.

We bought Allkem for the educational portfolio after it moved above the recent highs.

Computershare is still trading in a big sideways range.

Whitehaven Coal is in a small consolidation pattern for now.

After the rise in US interest rates comes the pain.
