S&P/ASX200 Index

Summary
Yesterday’s inflation figures weighed heavily on the market as it dropped almost 1%, but found support at the
pre-Easter opening level (4870). Overnight, news from The Bernank that everything is fine, but its not, so we
will continue to stimulate, rallied all risk markets (except silver), and the Aussie market has opened up on
digestion of this news.
The short term trend remains weak but positive on momentum, as it continues to reverts to the medium term
trend (note red line on graph below). It’s pretty much green across the board going into lunch at 4900 points.

Chart 1. Daily candlestick with 15 day moving average (pink line) over 3 months.
