Resources were one of the two sectors in the positive territory with BHP rising 0.7% and RIO adding 2.6%. The main focus on the day was GrainCorp, tumbling 22.1% after Treasurer Joe Hockey blocked the takeover bid from Archer Daniels Midland. Forge Group bounced back 12.4% after yesterday's selloff.
