What Mattered Today

Shares tracked pre-market futures lower early in our session before headlines of a further escalation in the Middle Eastern conflict caused another wave of selling took the market to 2 month lows. Energy found support with oil cracking $US90/bbl again which was also a concern for those positioned for inflation to roll off. Until midday, traders had no interest in taking risk in today’s session but the afternoon painted a different picture. The ASX closed well off the intraday lows with many sectors rallying more than 0.5% between midday and the end of trade. Despite the Friday afternoon fight, the local market had its worst week since September, falling -220pts / -2.83%.

An alternative copper/gold play A1M

Hi James, Being a member with MM provides me daily a true concise insight for my own investing trading journey. Thank you. I have been following AIC Mines (A1M) for some time now. I missed the boat when SFR was a great risk / reward buy. What are your thoughts regarding A1M now after its Stella run over the past few weeks?

Is Bowen Coking Coal (BCB) a good buy?

Hi team, With Bowen Coking Coal now sitting around 0.05c, if you didn't own it, would you buy it? Yes or no? I realise it's still shown as Active, but with your losses around 80 odd % on this stock ??? What's your thinking? Cheers, Jeff

Why did Elders (ELD) shares crash?

ELD -24.42%: the agricultural services company saw shares smacked more than 20% today after providing FY24 guidance for the first time. The first half has been hit by falling sentiment in the sector on the back of El Nino, lower crop protection prices, cheap livestock prices and a slow start to the winter crop particularly in WA. While an improvement is expected in the 2H, Elders expect EBIT to be ~25% lower than consensus, guiding to $120-140m.
