On Stockhead today, why WA won’t lure any east coast gas users across the Nullarbor any time soon, what stocks the big small cap fund managers are holding, and would you buy an electric Aussie ute called The Yewt?
But first, here’s what you need to know before markets open.
The day ahead in data
The quiet week on the Australian data calendar continues today, with no major releases or events on the schedule.
Looking abroad, there’s some central bank activity starting with the Reserve Bank of New Zealand’s financial stability report (released every six months).
Later in the session the Bank of Canada will announce its monetary policy decision, with rates expected to stay on hold at 1.75 per cent.

What got you talking yesterday
Over on the Stockhead Facebook chat forum, there was some discussion among users after group member Dariush Saba asked for people’s opinion on fintech Zip Co (ASX: Z1P) and aerial mapping company Nearmap (ASX: NEA).
“I don’t rate it — all hype,” user Sledge AU said on the topic of Z1P. “Sell and realise a profit; buy back when the price is low again and go for a second round.”
These were the five most-discussed stocks on trading gossip forum HotCopper at close on Tuesday:
