ANZ, NAB and WBC go ex div in the next few weeks and that will drive yield hunters to jump in to make 14% grossed up I just over 12mths. The market was pumped on the China baby food thematic with one child policy rejig and that drove more interest in an already recovering dairy market. BKL and BGA decided to get together and really make a move on China while BAL lost its take-over premium as BGA finds a new China dance partner.
