25 June – A solid up day

Thu, Jun 25, 2009

ASX Commentary

A solid performance today by the local market, supported by positive comments last night by the IMF, OECD, the announcement of China’s biggest ever acquisition of Canada’s Addax Petroleum and quite possibly a late buying surge into Financial Year End by institutions. Todays gains were also well supported by US strength during the futures night trading session. I remain cautious and don’t place too much emphasis on US night trading, but no doubt the market will lead us in due course. The domestic market remains above the support level we’ve been discussing. The daily trend remains up but momentum is still in the negative even after todays efforts. There are some nice long trades setting up with risk slowly but surely dropping. In my opinion a single days strength doesn’t make a new bull market and I wouldn’t be surprised to see some weakness after the June 30 cutoff. Just be wary of new longs and keep the risk down.
