Afternoon Report Thursday 27 March 2014
The ASX 200 closed 26 points, led by the resource sector with BHP -57c & RIO -49c.
As expected, weakness was seen in the bank sector early in the session, but recovered in the afternoon as yield investors bought the dip. CBA closed +17c despite being -54c at one stage.
We reiterate this morning's comments; weakness in the banks should be bought, especially if they fall in line with another 2% fall in the NASDAQ.
The US overnight futures are indicating they will trade higher and will be watched closely overnight.
