Market Up-Date. Friday, 16/10/09

On today's early morning post, I suggested we were due for a pull back. After headed upwards early in today's session, it was all down-hill, confirming this morning's suggestion. How much more? Anybody's guess - but I don't think it's done yet.

Here's the run-down for today.

XAO - 4842.6. Down 0.4%

In the Industry Sectors, only two sectors were up:

Utilities: up +0.5%
Health: up +0.01%.

It is noteworthy that the both sectors in the green were defensive sectors.

The two worst performers were:

Financials: down -0.7%
Industrials: down -1.0%

Breadth was marginally positive. Advance/Decline Ratio: 1.08.

Like yesterday, Up Volume to Down Volume was in the Red: 0.98

The Ozzie $ fell back below the .92 cent mark today. Nothing much can be read into that on an intra-day basis.

This week-end I'll post an extensive update. One of my charts analysing price and volume is suggesting that a cautious approach to the market should be taken. A retracement seems to have begun.
