Afternoon trading March 27

Thanks @shovel40, @mirren, @Fiji1 and morning crew.

A shaky rally, but we'll take what we can get in these conditions. ASX 200 ahead 0.21% at the halfway mark. There is a possibility the index is putting in a 'higher low', a key step towards breaking the seven-week downtrend. A close in the next few sessions above last week's high of 7016 would support that narrative.

US futures are looking quite chipper: S&P 500 futures +0.34%. Follows reports there could be a buyer for Silicon Valley Bank.

Personal trading: Took the pullback in BEZ for half a pip. Also took DXB. Regretting exiting SRY for brokerage last week. Congrats to those who held on for the recovery.
