clawing it's way back... and US had a good Friday (Dow +0.7%, S&P 500 +0.4%, Nasdaq +0.8%) so next week might start well

however ..The yield on the US 10-year note was 10 basis points higher to 4.38 per cent at 4.59pm. Bond investors are positioning for the Federal Reserve policy decision next week, the election and three debt auctions. ( little things, I know )

Friday, S&P/ASX 200 closed 41.2 points lower, down 0.51%.

It wasn't all doom and gloom today. Energy and Resources stocks actually did very well for the most part. Elsewhere, gold stocks pulled back (nothing goes up in a straight line) and Health Care continued to be dogged by a slumping CSL price..
