friday after market comments, page-6

Another nuance day for you red -

unweighted results for XAO and XJO -
XAO open to close down 0.6% on prices, -0.7% on mkt cap
XJO open to close down 0.8% on prices, -0.8% on mkt cap

ASX reports S&P results
XAO open to close down 130.4 or -2.8%
XJO open to close down 136.5 or -2.9%

One day I'll have some time and interest to work out why these are so vastly different on different days - I'm assuming the algorithm doesn't change.

If it pulls up at or above the 4550 I'll be a happy camper. Look for improved US consumer trading figures over the black friday weekend.
