Energy stocks struggled, coal stocks in particular, fell hard, following a 5.3% fall in the coal price overnight. WHC down 6.3%, CRN down 3.8% and NHC down 6.5%. Lithium miners steadied the ship after suffering from some profit-taking in recent sessions. And gold stocks were a bit all over the shop, SFR the biggest loser, down 3.0%. In corporate news, the PDL/PPT deal in the courts with PDL up 10.5% as it lowered its takeover offer of PPT, down 12.6%. WEB flew up 10.1% on some well-received first-half results. In economic news, unemployment fell to 3.4% in October, down from 3.5% in September, with consensus for a 0.1% rise. The market was relatively unphased, the release paves the way for further RBA rate rises. Asian markets are mixed. Dow Futures are up 21 points.
