Half-time round-up: "ASX Update: Four-week low as banks sink"

In this report:

• ASX 200 drops 1.1%
• Going up: energy, CWN, MFG, JLG
• Going down: banks, SYR, AZJ, CWY
• US futures fall 0.2%

Personal trading: These are tough trading conditions. Not surprising to see the day trading threads thin out. The spec index (XEC) put in a double top in April and it has been downhill since then. We've likely reached the "resignation" stage where people stop looking at their losses. Mixed morning for me. Dumped the last of yesterday's LDX buy at a loss. Squeezed half a pip from SYA.
