Afternoon trading May 9

Thanks @shovel40 and morning crew.


Half-time round-up: "ASX Update: 7100 breached as market tests seven-week low"

In this report:

• ASX 200 falls 1.3%
• Going up: WBC, havens, energy
• Going down: NWS, EHE, MFG, SGR, REITs
• US futures tank 1.2%

Personal trading: Brutal spec market at the moment. Absolutely brutal. I ducked and dived to wins in SRN, MMI and HIO, but find myself hanging out for any sort of recovery at all in BMN and SRK.
