Afternoon trading May 10

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

Aussie shares eased for a second day following a cautious session on Wall Street ahead of tonight's consumer inflation report. The ASX 200 reached the halfway mark 0.14% lower.

The banks were the biggest drag as NAB and BOQ traded without their dividends. Healthcare and property stocks were the pick of the sectors. Small caps outperformed, lifting the Small Ords 0.2%.

Personal trading: Busy morning, including buys in ZEU, NAB, SPQ and OLY. Out of some, not all.
