What Mattered Today

The ASX fell for a third consecutive session, although strength in some pockets (resources) was enough to only see modest declines at the index level. Tech and banks the major drags, while Gold rallied another $US100/oz to hit yet another record high at $US4871/oz - so much for it being a crowded trade!
