Thanks for the Standard link Wolfy. "Mining stocks joined Barclays on today’s blue-chip fallers board, with sentiment impacted by Moody’s cutting China’s credit rating to negative from stable." Moody's is thoroughly American: I'm not sure I trust their figures when those figures trash the competition.
US government attempts to prop up the dollar will have some success, same as Chinese goverment attempts to lower the iron ore price. But behind these temporary efforts there are massive economic winds, currently West to East, which won't be stopped.
