ASX 200 set for a firmer open as Wall Street broadens; iron ore and oil drag resources

The S&P/ASX 200 closed 1.13% lower Thursday at 8,686.1 and faces a two-speed open Friday. SPI 200 futures point up 0.6% after the Dow set a record on a rotation out of Broadcom (-12.59%) into financials and healthcare, but iron ore (-1.69% to US$101.96/t) and Brent (-2.82%) renew pressure on BHP.AU, RIO.AU, FMG.AU and the energy names. US May payrolls land tonight.
