Thanks @shovel40, @Fiji1, @uncleBuck, @JohnI and morning crew.
Half-time wrap:
The share market struggled for direction as a slide in US stock futures amid fast-moving events in the Middle East overshadowed last night's Wall Street rebound.
The ASX 200 overcame early weakness to reach mid-session seven points or 0.08% ahead.
A rebound in gold miners and gains in tech companies and REITs helped offset weakness in banks and utilities.
US stock futures dropped as oil rebounded and President Donald Trump headed back to Washington and called for the evacuation of Tehran. Israel's ambassador to the US promised a "surprise" this week regarding its conflict with Iran. S&P 500 futures declined 0.48%. Overnight, the US stock benchmark rallied 0.94%, reversing most of Friday's fall.
Personal trading: Took a hit yesterday, so reduced position sizing and risk until I regain my mojo. Small wins this morning in LOC and ICL.
