Shares of CBA opened higher in early trade on the news that the bank has sold its troubled insurance business to the Chinese owned AIA Group for $3.8 billion.
The sale of Comminsure Life was largely considered a fire sale considering several problems involving denying payments to policyholders and pressuring medical assessors to reject client’s claims.
Our ALGO engine gave a sell signal in CBA on July 4th at $84.00. We consider this bounce in price as corrective and still see scope for CBA shares to return to the low $70.00 handle.
